Research Outline

Topological insulators hold promise for various applications due to their unique surface electronic states; however, maximizing surface area and enhancing material quality (through the control of crystallinity) are essential for effectively utilizing these states.

In this study, we employ thin-film fabrication techniques based on molecular beam epitaxy to control the structure of topological insulator nanocrystals through self-assembly. Furthermore, we aim to utilize the resulting nanocrystals to foster interdisciplinary research—extending beyond our core expertise in thermoelectric conversion to fields such as catalysis and biosensing.

What is my goal as a transborder researcher?

The type of "trans-border researcher" I aspire to be is one who, while establishing their own area of expertise, engages with researchers from other fields to pioneer new research areas through flexible thinking.
