Research Areas and interests

  1. To explore new quantum materials with novel physical performances by using high pressure technique, such as iron based superconductors, hydride superconductors, heavy fermion system and multiferromagnetic materials.

  2. To study the novel quantum physical phenomena tuned by high pressure, such as pressure induced superconductivity, and pressure induced insulator-metal transition. Pressure can gradually change the crystal lattice parameters to tune the electric band structure and then the  physical performance.
