Research Intertest

My research interest is to study the physics and chemical properties of uncoventional superconductors, single magnetic molecule, single magetic atom, graphene and other two-dimensional materials by using ultra-low-temperature&strong-magnetic-field  scanning tunneling microscope (STM), atomic force microscope (AFM), XPS, Raman spectroscopy and other technology

My previous and current research projects include:

Quantum states in Kagome materials;

o  Majorana bound states in Fe-based superconductors with topological surface state;

o  Structural and electronic properties of graphene and other two-dimensional materials; 

o  Magnetic properties of single atoms, single molecules and other quantum systems;

o  Single molecular device, molecular self-organization and on-surface reactions.
