Main Research results
(1) Developed a first-principles program for the universal calculation of Z2 topological invariants, and predicted a series of two-dimensional and three-dimensional Z2 topological insulators, some of which have been verified by experiments and written into foreign physics graduate textbooks.
(2) A first-principles program was developed to calculate the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity based on Wannier function, and the spin Hall effect of two-dimensional materials such as MoS2 and the regulation of strain and doping on the electron mobility of MoS2 were quantitatively calculated. The calculated results have been verified by experiments.
(3) It is pointed out that the magneto-optical Kerr effect exists in the antiferromagnetic field with zero net magnetization, which has been proved by experiments; The topological magneto-optical effect and its quantization in chiral antiferromagnetism were discovered. The chiral magneto-optical effect of crystals caused by the position change of non-magnetic atoms has been discovered.
