Materials Performance: Brightening Materials
The PL QY of 2D monolayer semiconductors reaches near-unity when they are made intrinsic through chemical treatment or electrostatic doping. Neutral exciton recombination is entirely radiative even in the presence of a high native defect density. This finding enables monolayers optoelectronic applications as the stringent requirement of low defect density is eased. Read more

Exciton Physics: Photophysics of Excitons
Multiparticle Coulomb interactions are pronounced in monolayer semiconductors, leading to a multitude of recombination pathways, each associated with the different quasiparticles produced by these interactions. A simple kinetic model that involves excitons, trions, biexcitons, and free carriers is introduced to explain the recombination process. Read more

Device Innovation: Trensient-Electroluminescence Devices
To deal with the injection inefficiency caused by Schottky contacts, I developed an AC carrier injection architecture, a device concept that is capable of efficiently injecting carriers in various excitonic systems, including monolayer semiconductors, with demonstrations of bright light-emitting devices from infrared to ultraviolet regimes.
