Zhang Lab
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS BEIJING NORMAL UNIVERSITYThe central goal of Zhang lab in Beijing Normal University is the pursuit of controllable functionalities in oxides and related structures at nanoscale. Our research highly focuses on the artificial design of oxide-based building blocks (interface, domain walls, phase boundaries), especially in ferroic/multi-ferroic materials.
We study the emerging phenomena and exotic physical behaviors behind the coupling and control of multiple order parameters (e.g. lattice, spin, orbital, charges) at a reduced dimension. We also strive to create a bridge between those fundamentally scientific discoveries in functional nano-systems and future possible applications such as sensing, actuation, data storage, energy conversion, etc.
