The Computational Condensed Matter Physics Research Group (www.compphysics. cn) was established by Professor Zhao Yujun at the end of 2006, and Professor Yang Xiaobao and Professor Yao Yao joined in 2010 and 2016 respectively. At present, the research group has a reasonable talent structure, including 3 professors, 3 associate professors, 2 lecturers, and 3 doctoral supervisors. The research directions include structural search, crystal defects, two-dimensional systems, machine learning, and optical, electrical, and magnetic phenomena and their transport mechanisms caused by dynamic disorder and quantum coherence in organic molecular materials, covering various fields from atomic structure, electronic properties to quantum transport, forming a relatively complete research system. In terms of research methods, we not only focus on theoretical calculations and simulations, but also actively engage in experimental cooperation, achieving a close integration of theory and experiment. In addition, the research team closely follows the forefront of the discipline and introduces emerging technologies such as machine learning into materials research, providing new ideas and means for solving complex problems.
Since its establishment, the research group has presided over more than 10 national fund projects, 1 New Century Excellent Talents Support Program of the Ministry of Education, 1 Guangdong Outstanding Youth Fund, and multiple other provincial and ministerial level projects. It has also participated in major projects such as the Ministry of Science and Technology's 973 Special Project and the Innovation Group of the National Natural Science Foundation. In terms of output, we have independently developed structural recognition and search methods and software, successfully designed two-dimensional magnetic materials, and constructed quantum computing models. Our related achievements have been published in more than 200 SCI indexed papers in important academic journals such as Nat. Comm, Sci. Adv., Phys. Rev. Lett., J. Am. Chem. Soc.
The research group focuses on talent cultivation. Currently, there are 9 doctoral students and 14 master's students, and 25 doctoral students and 31 master's students have been trained. By participating in high-level scientific research projects, students have gained sufficient exercise and improvement, and have provided a large number of excellent professional talents for related fields.
In the future, the research team will continue to focus on structural search and design methods, as well as the study of new material properties, to further deepen the understanding of the relationship between material microstructure and macroscopic properties, and explore more new materials with unique properties.
