Harold Y. Hwang

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harold Yoonsung Hwang (* 1970 in Pasadena , California ) is an American physicist and professor of physics at Stanford University .

Life

Harold Hwang received his PhD from Princeton University in 1997 . From 1994 to 1996 he was Research Assistant and from 1996 to 2003 Member of Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey . From 2003 to 2008 he was Associate Professor and from 2009 Full Professor in the Department of Advanced Materials Science and the Department of Applied Physics at the University of Tokyo in Kashiwa , Japan . From 2006 to 2007 he was also Visiting Associate Professor of the Institute for Chemical Research at Kyoto University . Since 2010 he has been Professor of Physics in the Department of Applied Physics at Stanford University and Team Leader of the Correlated Electron Research Group at the RIKEN Advanced Science Institute in Wako , Japan.

research

As a doctoral student, Hwang discovered that spin-polarized tunnel currents in polycrystalline manganates generate very high magnetoresistance . While at the Bell Laboratories, he developed methods for the synthesis and characterization of metal oxide - heterostructures and exhibited a two-dimensional metallic state at the interface between the tape insulators LaAlO 3 and SrTiO 3 after. Subsequently, he researched a number of other interface states in metal oxide heterostructures and switching elements.

Prizes and awards

In 2005 he received the Outstanding Young Investigator Award from the Materials Research Society . In 2008 he received the IBM Japan Science Prize and in 2013 the Ho-Am Prize in Science. On June 18, 2014, together with Jochen Mannhart and Jean-Marc Triscone, he received the Europhysics Prize of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society . He has also been a Fellow of the American Physical Society since 2011 .
