Hantian Gao's research focuses on identifying and controlling atomic-scale defects in wide-bandgap semiconductor materials such as gallium oxide (Ga2O3), zinc oxide (ZnO), and related oxides, using techniques like cathodoluminescence and surface photovoltage spectroscopy. This work is relevant to improving power electronics and microdevices, where defects can limit device performance. The research also touches on how radiation and laser exposure create or modify these defects.
