Department of Physics (Global Campus)
Introduction
The Department of Physics (Global Campus) is specialized in modern science and technology such as semiconductor electronics, nanostructures, new material development, and energy-related technology. Practical education facilities have been established to provide training programs at the graduate level. In the field of nanostructures and semiconductors, we undertake research into the processing, modification and characterization of electronic and optoelectronic materials, and into the design, fabrication and testing of novel electronic and optoelectronic devices. Applied optics, an increasingly important field for all optical telecommunication networks, is also one of our specialized research areas. Currently we have 13 faculty members who are performing joint theoretical/experimental collaborations in the fields of nanostructures, semiconductors, new energy-related materials, and optical devices. The Semiconductor Physics Research group was selected for the Brain Korea 21 Grant by the Ministry of Education. This 7-year research grant provides monthly salary and travel expenses for graduate students and post-doctorates. The Department has very active and well-funded research facilities, offering excellent opportunities for students wishing to proceed to the degrees of Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy. Major facilities established for the major include PL system, E-beam evaporator, IR detector characterization system, spectroscopic ellipsometry system, high temperature annealing system, wire bonder, tunable diode laser, Ar laser, reflectance and transmittance measurement system, RF spectrum analyzer, fusion splicer, He-Cd laser, vacuum evaporator, high-performance computer cluster.

Contents |
Solid State Physics |
We study the physical properties of all phenomena related to solid state physics through theory and experiment. |
Semiconductor Physics |
We study electron transport, optical properties, and structural properties of silicon and III-V semiconductors. We also study the production and characteristics of TFT-LCD, solar cells, and image sensing devices. |
Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics |
Employing the quantum many-body theory, the electronic structures, the charge transport, quantum entanglement, and quantum phase transitions in three-dimensional or low-dimensional quantum lattice systems are theoretically investigated. |
Optics |
Based on the understanding of the interaction between light and matter, nanophotonics, semiconductor and display optics, nonlinear optics, optical fiber science, and quantum information are explored. |
