Overview
Affiliation Department of Basic Science, University of Tokyo
Location Komaba 3-8-1, Meguro-ku, Tokyo 153-8902, Japan
Position Postdoctoral researcher funded by a grant from Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)
Period The postdoctoral researcher should join our group in the period between December 1st 2009 through April 1st 2010. The appointment will be renewed for each year.
Research direction
Study of electron dynamics in semiconductor nano-structures (quantum wells and quantum dots) under illumination of terahertz (THz) radiation, and the development of ultra-highly sensitive terahertz (THz) detectors (CSIP: charge sensitive infrared phototransistors) exploiting semiconductor nano-structures. Particularly important among recent issues are (i) investigation of the coupling between surface plasmon polariton and a two-dimensional electron gas layer in single quantum wells and the resulting understanding of the quantum efficiency of THz photon detection, (ii) exploration of new schemes of longer-wavelength THz detection, and (iii) fabrication and operation of CSIP arrays, aiming at the application to space infrared telescopes and novel THz microscopes. The research is a repetition of the cycle of forming a concept, designing crystal structures, fabricating devices, carrying out measurements, and reforming the concept.
Underlying idea of the research is to exploit achievements of basic condensed matter physics for creating new technologies, and to apply the developed new technologies as a positive feedback for promoting the basic research.
