Introduction to the Optoelectronic Materials and Theoretical Calculation Research Group
Research directions: This research group closely focuses on multiple frontier scientific research fields and covers four main directions.
Direction 1: Using machine learning technology to accurately predict the structure of nanoclusters and crystal materials, creating a forward-looking theoretical foundation for the design and application of nanomaterials and crystal materials.
Direction 2: Research and theoretical calculation of optoelectronic materials to improve the performance of optoelectronic materials and expand their application range.
Direction 3: Design and property control of nanoclusters to achieve the accurate construction of the elemental performance of nanomaterials at the atomic level.
Direction 4: Theoretical study of the electromagnetic structure of rare earth/transition metals in solids to build a solid theoretical foundation for the development of planar two-dimensional materials.
Team profile: Currently, there are 22 members in the research group: 2 doctors, 9 master's students in school, and 11 undergraduates. Relying on an advanced experimental platform for theoretical calculation of optoelectronic materials, this research group has long cooperated with the experimental team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Making full use of the resource advantages of both sides, aiming at optimizing and applying the performance of optoelectronic materials, and using machine learning technical means to explore the composition, structure, and interface design theories and methods of new multifunctional optoelectronic material elements, and deeply study the chemical, physical, and mechanical action laws of material elements. Through continuous efforts and innovation, this research group has achieved a series of crucial research results in the fields of optoelectronic materials and nanoclusters, and has had a relatively wide influence at home and abroad.
