	Prof. DENBAARS, Steve, University of California Santa Barbara, USA
	Title: Energy Savings Potential of GaN LEDs for Energy Efficient Lighting and Future Research Directions
	Abstract: LEDs fabricated from gallium nitride materials have lead to the realization of high-efficiency white solid-state lighting. At UCSB’s Solid State Lighting and Energy Center we have fabricated advanced GaN white LEDs structures which exhibit luminous efficacy greater than 160 lm/Watt, and external quantum efficiencies higher than 60%. New LED structures grown on semipolar orientations of bulk GaN have shown remarkable efficiencies at high current densities (400A/cm2). Equally impressive are GaN based blue and green laser diodes are displaying high efficiencies at even higher current densities (>2000A/cm2). These advances helped enabled LEDs lighting to compete with traditional lighting technologies such as incandescent and CFL. A review of the energy savings potential of LED based lighting compared to traditional technologies will be addressed. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that in 2030 the energy savings from LED lighting in the U.S. alone would amount to over $250 billion in energy savings, which is equivalent to 50 Gigawatt size power plants. Further improvements in materials quality and cost reduction are necessary for wide-spread adoption of LEDs for lighting. Solid-state lighting has the potential to achieve 85% energy efficiency, corresponding to 255 lm/watt, and be able to run entirely off sustainable energy sources such as either solar, thermoelectric or wind. Key problems and new research directions in solid state lighting technologies at UCSB will be highlighted.

	Prof.XUE, Qikun, Tsinghua University, China
	Title: Experimental Realization of Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect
	Abstract: Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1880. In this talk, we report experimental observation of the quantized version of AHE, the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) in thin films of Cr-doped (Bi,Sb)2Te3 magnetic topological insulator grown on SrTiO3 by molecular beam eptaxy. At zero magnetic field, the gate-tuned anomalous Hall resistance exhibits a quantized value of h/e2 accompanied by a significant drop of the longitudinal resistance. The longitudinal resistance vanishes under a strong magnetic field whereas the Hall resistance remains at the fully quantized value. The realization of QAHE paves a way for developing low-power-consumption electronics and magneto-electric devices.
