Research Interest

Concentrate on the novel properties in nanostructured materials, localization and scaling behavior in generalized multi-band Anderson lattice model, phenomena arising from the competing charge, spin, and orbital orderings in perovskites, the electromagnetic wave propagation in modulated structures. In particular, attention is paid on the quantum phenomena and their possible manipulation and applications.
