研究室紹介
Professor Sung-Whi Kim's research lab specializes in surface and thin-film magnetism, with a focus on understanding the magnetic properties of ultrathin films and heterostructures at the atomic scale. The lab develops advanced in-situ characterization techniques, such as the SMOKE (Surface Magneto-Optic Kerr Effect) system, to investigate surface magnetism under controlled magnetic fields. Their work emphasizes the interplay between electronic structure, crystal orientation, and magnetic anisotropy in nanostructured materials, particularly transition metal films on single-crystal substrates. The lab's research contributes to the fundamental understanding of spintronic materials and their potential applications in next-generation magnetic devices.

2We have setup a compact and useful in-situ SMOKE system in order to study surface magnetism of ultra-thin films. Since the longitudinal or polar magnetic fields can be applied to the sample by just rotating the sample manipulator, It is very simple to take hysteresis curve for in-plane or polar surface magnetism. The SMOKE system was tested by investigating the surface magnetism of ultra-thin Co film deposited on Pt(111) surface.
