The Magneto-Opto-Electronics group (Principal Investigator: Prof. Hua-Shu Hsu (許華書)) is a research group in the Department of Applied Physics at the National Pingtung University, Taiwan. Our research focuses on the development and physical characterization of new functional materials with novel spin-polarized band structures that induce desirable photophysical properties, especially for magneto-optical effects, such as magneto-absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) for magneto-optoelectronics applications.

In those fields, the group has made contributions in recent to:

1) MCD manipulation, for instance, using spin-polarized current or by charge accumulation.

2) Engineering spin-polarized band by surface modification or magneto-plasmonic effect for magneto-optoelectronics and spintronics application.

3) Extraction MCD effects from a blended mixture of magnetic linear dichroism signals in the magnetic material/polymer hybrid systems.
