Professor Park Young-mi's laboratory in the Department of Physics presented a high-quality transcription plan for the study of plasmonics properties of van der Waals materials through joint research with researchers from Professor Park Seung-ryong (Incheon National University), Professor Choi Soo-bong (Incheon National University), and Professor Hong Sung-joo (Gangwon University).

The interfacial characteristics of the graphite/metal structure manufactured by the dry transfer method were confirmed using a transmission electron microscope and an atomic force microscope, and a quantitative characteristic evaluation method for the conformity of van der Waals material was proposed.

In particular, by comparing the transcription results using polymer layers with different glass transition temperatures, the factors for obtaining high conformity were identified through performance comparison of terahertz plasmonic antennas.

The experimental results were published online in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces (I.F. = 8.5), a leading journal in the nano field, under the title "Viscoelastic-Support-Layer-Based Macroscopical Conformal Transfer of van der Waals Materials Compatible with Plasmonic Application" (2024. 11. 4). 

Professor Park Young-mi served as a co-corresponding author, and the first authors of this paper, Moon Chae-yeon and Moon Dong-min, conducted a physical research project as undergraduate researchers in the same laboratory.
