Structure and Electronic Properties of Ultrathin In Films on Si(111)

Dr. Shigemi Terakawa's research fields are surface science and 2D materials. He has investigated the structure and electronic properties of atomically thin metal films on semiconductor surfaces using surface science techniques (ARPES, LEED and STM) and DFT calculation. He is now particularly interested in novel electronic properties observed in heterostructures of 2D materials with magnetic order.
