Major Research Fields in M08 Group:
1. High-pressure synthesis and physical properties of novel magnetoelectric functional materials
In this direction, we will use the irreplaceable advantages of high-pressure and high-temperature extreme conditions to prepare new magnetoelectric functional materials that cannot be formed under ambient conditions, including magnetoelectricmultiferroic materials, high-temperature ferro/ferrimagnetic half metals, and high Curie temperature semiconductors, etc.
2. High-pressure growth and intrinsic physics of large-size magnetoelectric single crystals
Single crystal is the best system to investigate intrinsic physical properties. However, it is a big challenge in the worldwide on how to grow large-size single crystal under high pressure. This direction breaks through the technical bottleneck and develops advanced large-volume high-pressure single crystal growth methods, prepares new magnetoelectric single crystals and studies the underlying physics.
3. Multiple manipulations of exotic quantum states
High pressure is not only an important material preparation method, but also a useful manipulation method for quantum states, since in-situ high pressure can significantly reduce the interatomic distance, enhance the orbital hybridization, and expand the bandwidth. In this direction, we will study the exotic magnetoelectric quantum states induced by high pressure and other combined stimuli such as temperature, magnetic field, electric field and light field etc.
