Welcome to 2D Materials and Quantum Transport Laboratory at Westlake University. Our research focuses on novel quantum transport in two-dimensional (2D) materials, which consist of atomically thin crystal layers bonded by van der Waals force. 2D materials can exhibit many novel quantum phenomena and have promising electronic applications in the post-Moore’s Law era.
Different 2D materials can be assembled into designer van der Waals (vdWs) heterostructures layer by layer, as building Lego, but with atomic precision. In vdWs heterostructures, the clean interfaces owing to the self-cleaning effect and no lattice mismatch requirement preserve individual properties of each involved layer and guarantee the strong interlayer interaction, making it possible to create various emergent artificial materials with multifunctional properties and exotic phenomena. Therefore, 2D materials and vdWs heterostructures provide a good platform to address many fundamental remaining open questions in condensed matter physics.
Our group focuses on novel quantum transport (such as correlated topological states, ferroelectricity, unconventional magnetism and superconductivity) in two-dimensional (2D) materials and their heterostructures. Our discovery is based on state-of-art nanofabrication technology, low-temperature electronic transport and optical characterization, and high-quality crystal growth. We are currently seeking highly motivated Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows. We cordially invite researchers with shared scientific interests to join our collaborative research team.
