Speaker Mr. Kai FENG

Date February 28, 2023 (Tuesday)
Time 4:00 p.m.
Venue Room 518, 5/F, Chong Yuet Ming Physics Building, The University of Hong Kong

Abstract

Indium Selenide is a promising semiconductor material with high mobility and largely tunable bandgap. However, the optical characterization of InSe is harder than other materials since its bandgap transition is extremely weak for in-plane polarized light. Here we show an measurement technique of the gate-modulated differential reflectance, which is a versatile tool to study the physics of exciton in InSe.

The “shift current” concept comes with bulk photovoltaic effect, which is a nonlinear optical effect that generates photocurrent in nonlinear materials without the presence of an external electric field. Indium Selenide, with strong nonlinearity, can serve as a good platform for shift current generation. The second part of my work focus on the shift current measurement.

Anyone interested is welcome to attend.
