Research Interests
Towards understanding the basic mechanism underlying Perovskite oxide behavior, by means of first-principle calculations:
· Material design of functional Perovskite oxides, including ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials for the energy application.
· Structural driven phase-transition phenomenon of Perovskite oxide thin films and heterostructures.
· Developing ab initio-derived phenomenological Landau formalism to identify the structural phase transitions in complex oxides.
