Oki Gunawan, a 44-year-old researcher who works at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in New York, is determined to prove that Indonesian scientists can contribute to fundamental physics. He is now leading a study that will expand the world’s knowledge on semiconductor materials for developing electronics technology.
Oki’s new discovery, the carrier-resolved photo-Hall effect (CRPH measurement) was published in the 7 Nov. 2019 issue of the Nature journal under the same name. Oki said the results of his research were part of a long series of scientific advancements to understand the features of materials that conduct electricity, which was started almost 200 years ago by German physicist and mathematician Georg Ohm in 1827 and was developed by American physicist Edwin Hall in 1879.
