His research interests include condensed matter physics, computational physics, and materials physics, including:
(1) Develop quantum theory and advanced calculation methods of material properties, and study quantum novel properties such as anomalic Hall effect, spin Hall effect, orbital Hall effect, plane Hall effect, thermoelectric effect, magneto-optical effect, magnetoresistance, magnetic moment and topology in materials, with special attention to the electronic structure of spin-orbit coupled systems, the relationship between the Bery phase and quantum physical properties; On this basis, the corresponding high-performance parallel computing software package is developed and designed.
(2) Combining theoretical design, computational simulation and experimental exploration, various new quantum functional materials (such as topological insulators, topological semi-metals, topological superconductors, two-dimensional layered quantum materials, etc.), high-energy density materials and their related physical properties are studied; By studying the mechanism of interaction between light and matter, we can design high-efficiency light-energy quantum conversion materials and new materials with novel photoelectric effects.
(3) Closely combined with experiments, aiming at the frontier and application of quantum functional materials, designing quantum functional materials and exploring their novel physical properties, and developing a new generation of components (such as infrared optoelectronic components, new energy devices, sensing and measuring devices, storage and computing devices, communication devices, spintronic devices, photocells and photocatalytic devices, etc.).
