Research Directions

Development, technological advancement, and application of laser-combined Ultrafast Transmission Electron Microscopy (UTEM);
Electron microscopy studies on the correlation between microstructure and properties in advanced functional materials.

Our laboratory focuses on Electron Microscopy on Functional Materials & Development of UTEM Methods. Below are our three core research directions.
1

Ultrafast Transmission Electron Microscopy (UTEM) Research

UTEM combines ultrafast lasers with high-resolution electron microscopes. We focus on developing novel UTEM techniques, refining experimental protocols, and advancing data processing methods based on a thorough understanding of the underlying theory.

By integrating in-situ electron microscopy techniques, we investigate the link between microstructure and physical properties in functional materials, with a special emphasis on lattice dynamics and novel structural phenomena.

Microstructure-Property Correlation in Functional Materials

Using advanced TEM imaging, spectroscopy, and in-situ techniques, we study the relationship between the microstructure and physical properties of functional materials, particularly in strongly correlated superconductors and multiferroic systems, focusing on new microstructural phenomena.

We use high-resolution electron microscopy to reveal the intrinsic connection between material structure and performance, providing a theoretical foundation for the design of new materials.

Exploration of New Functional Materials in Strongly Correlated Systems

Our primary focus is the exploration and development of new functional materials within strongly correlated systems, especially superconducting and multiferroic materials.

By combining advanced material synthesis techniques and characterization methods, we aim to discover functional materials with novel physical properties and investigate their potential applications.
