ZHANG Yijin

ZHANG Yijin is a faculty member in the Department of PHY at The University of Tokyo. Their research focuses on the physics of nano materials, particularly exploring quantum phenomena in two-dimensional and one-dimensional nanomaterials through symmetry engineering. By fabricating artificial structures with controlled symmetry using materials like graphene and carbon nanotubes, they investigate novel quantum physical phenomena using electrical transport measurements and micro spectroscopy under ultra-low temperature and high magnetic field conditions. The goal is to establish design principles for artificial physical properties.

Yijin Zhang is a researcher in the Department of Physics at The University of Tokyo, focusing on the electronic and optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional materials. Their work explores phenomena such as superconductivity, valleytronics, and charge-density-wave states in transition metal dichalcogenides and related systems. Zhang's research includes the investigation of gate-tuned band insulators, ambipolar transistors, and optoelectronic responses in materials like MoS2 and WSe2. They have also studied memristive phase switching and the formation of stable p-n junctions in van der Waals heterostructures. Their contributions span both fundamental physics and potential applications in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics.
