1. EXPLORATION OF NEW MATERIALS

      In the history of the development of condensed matter physics, the emergence of new materials has continuously promoted the development of new physical phenomena and new theories. The discovery of new material systems often marks the rise of a research direction. For example, the development of physical systems such as superconducting physics, strongly correlated electronic systems, topological states of matter, etc., often start with the emergence of new materials. Our research group has been committed to the preparation and research of new material systems for a long time, hoping to discover more novel physical phenomena.

2. SINGLE CRYSTAL GROWTH

   Because of the strict and regular arrangement of atoms in the single crystal, as well as the characteristics of no grain boundaries and few impurities, it can present the most essential properties of the material, which is the basis of scientific research and industrial applications. High-quality single crystal materials are not only ideal objects for physical research in extreme conditions such as ultra-high pressure, extremely low temperature, and strong magnetic fields in the basic physics field, but also for industrial applications, such as aerospace, high-end chips and other advanced "stuck neck" fields, Is of far-reaching strategic significance.

   In terms of basic physics research, it will follow the scientific research cooperation route of "theoretical guidance-single crystal preparation-experimental measurement", relying on the theoretical research group of the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Huairou comprehensive extreme conditions experimental device, a new generation of high-energy synchrotron radiation light source, The in-depth cooperation with large scientific devices such as the spallation neutron source realizes purposeful and efficient single crystal sample growth, promotes the development of condensed matter physics and the improvement of the overall scientific research strength of the research team. In terms of industrial applications, it will actively cooperate with relevant enterprises and units to provide certain technical support and growth process service support for them. Combining the strong production capacity of the factory and the advanced synthesis technology in the research group, it is expected to be applied in industry. A breakthrough has been achieved in the field of "card neck" single crystal materials.
