Optics at the nanoscale
Welcome to Dr. Xin Lu’s research group in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics at Tulane University. We are interested in exploring the optical properties of low-dimensional nanomaterials, which include excitonic properties, lattice vibrational modes and exciton-phonon coupling.
