About the Lab

Professor Jinsoo Joo's research lab specializes in advanced nanomaterials and ultrafast spectroscopy, focusing on the electronic and vibrational properties of two-dimensional materials, intrinsically conducting polymers, and complex molecular systems. Key research directions include the development of high-performance 2D semiconductor devices such as MoS₂ phototransistors, coherent two-dimensional optical spectroscopy for probing excitonic dynamics, and computational simulations of molecular dynamics in liquids. The lab also investigates the fundamental mechanisms of energy transfer, charge transport, and electromagnetic shielding in functional materials, with applications in optoelectronics, sensing, and electromagnetic interference protection.

High‐Detectivity Multilayer MoS2 Phototransistors with Spectral Response from Ultraviolet to Infrared
Woong Choi, Mi Yeon Cho, Aniruddha Konar, Jong Hak Lee, Gi‐Beom Cha, Soon Cheol Hong, Sangsig Kim, Sangsig Kim, Jeongyong Kim, Debdeep Jena, Jinsoo Joo, Sunkook Kim
SJR Q1Advanced Materials

Phototransistors based on multilayer MoS2 crystals are demonstrated with a wider spectral response and higher photoresponsivity than single-layer MoS2 phototransistors. Multilayer MoS2 phototransistors further exhibit high room temperature mobilities (>70 cm2V−1s−1), near-ideal subthreshold swings (∼70 mV decade−1), low operating gate biases (<5 V), and negligible shifts in the threshold voltages during illumination. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting

Electromagnetic radiation shielding by intrinsically conducting polymers
Jinsoo Joo, Andrew J. Epstein
SJR Q1Applied Physics Letters

The shielding efficiency of various intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) as a function of their intrinsic properties (conductivity and dielectric constant), thickness, and temperature is determined. Two types of shielding, reflection and absorption, by ICPs are discussed. The high shielding efficiencies of highly conducting doped polyaniline, polypyrrole, and polyacetylene are reported and compared to that of copper. The easy tuning of intrinsic properties by chemical processing suggests the

High frequency electromagnetic interference shielding response of mixtures and multilayer films based on conducting polymers
Jinsoo Joo, Cheol‐Su Lee
SJR Q2Journal of Applied Physics

The electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding efficiency (SE) is measured for conductive polyaniline and its mixtures containing conducting powders. The frequency ranges of the EMI SE is 10 MHz–1 GHz by using the ASTM D4935-89 technique. The EMI SE of hydrochloric acid doped polyaniline containing silver (Ag) powder is ∼46 dB at room temperature, which indicates that the materials can be commercially applied to shielding against electromagnetic (EM) radiation. The theoretical SE is calculated

Charge transport of the mesoscopic metallic state in partially crystalline polyanilines

Physical review. B, Condensed matter

Charge transport properties, including temperature-dependent dc conductivity, thermoelectric power, electron paramagnetic resonance, microwave frequency dielectric constant and conductivity, and electric-field-dependent conductance of partially crystalline (``physically'' cross-linked) HCl-doped polyaniline correlated with x-ray structure studies, demonstrate that charge delocalization in physically cross-linked polyaniline systems is structurally controlled. Further, we observe a positive diele

Physical review. B, Condensed matter

We report the dependence of the microwave-frequency dielectric constant and dc conductivity on the crystallinity and local order of doped polyaniline. The dramatic increase of the dielectric response in the three highest crystalline physically crosslinked polyaniline samples provides evidence for the formation of three-dimensional coupled mesoscopic metallic regions. We report the measurement of a negative dielectric constant in polyaniline (doped with camphor sulfonic acid) demonstrating the in

Hybrid nanostructures using π-conjugated polymers and nanoscale metals: synthesis, characteristics, and optoelectronic applications
Dong Hyuk Park, Mi Suk Kim, Jinsoo Joo
SJR Q1Chemical Society Reviews

Pi-conjugated organic systems have been used as optoelectronic and sensing materials due to their characteristics of efficient light emission or absorption, and p-type charge transport. The hybrid nanostructures of pi-conjugated organic systems with nanoscale metals offer surface plasmon (SP)-enhanced luminescence, which can be applied to organic-based optoelectronics, photonics, and sensing. Various hybrid nanostructures using light-emitting polymers with nanoscale metals have been fabricated a

Abstract The highly photosensitive characteristics of organic thin‐film transistors (OTFTs) made using soluble star‐shaped oligothiophenes with four‐armed π ‐conjugation paths, 4(HPBT)‐benzene and 4(HP3T)‐benzene molecules having a relatively high quantum yield, are reported. 4(HPBT)‐benzene‐based organic phototransistors (OPTs) exhibited high photosensitivity (∼2500–4300 A W −1 ) even with low optical powers (∼6.8–30 µW cm −2 ) at zero gate bias. The measured photosensitivity of the devices was

Abstract Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials of complex type of conductive polypyrrole (PPy) as an intrinsically conducting polymer and silver‐palladium (AgPd) metal compound coated on woven or non‐woven fabrics are synthesized. From dc conductivity and SEM photographs of PPy/fabric complexes, we discuss charge transport mechanism and the homogeneity of coating on the fabrics. The EMI shielding efficiency of PPy/fabric and AgPd/fabric complexes is in the range of 8 ∼ 80 dB dep

The results of microwave dielectric constant (ϵmw) and dc conductivity (σdc) of doped polyaniline (PAN) samples in different charge delocation regimes are reported. With camphor culfonic acid doped PAN prepared in m-cresol solvent (PAN-CSA (m-cresol)) respresenting the most delocalized material, a negative ϵmw is measured indicating an intrinsic metallic state. The Drude model at low frequency is used to estimate a relatively small plasma frequency ωp ⋍ 0.015 eV and an anomalously long scatterin
