Research fields: Theory of physical properties of nanostructures and nano-materials; Computational design of novel key materials; Theory of epitaxial growth, especially self-organized growth of nanostructures; Quantum spin models; Computational study of highly-correlated-electron materials; and others. Supported at present: by the theoretical subproject (G1999064509) under the China National Key Project on Basic Research: “Nanostructures and nano materials (G19990645)”; by Chinese Academy of Sciences under key project: “Physics in Computational Modeling and Predicting of Materials ( KJCX2-W5-1 )”; and by China Nature Science Foundation.

(1) By means of a two-sublattice approach to the antiferromagnetism of the insulating layered undoped cuprate materials. we get the theoretical Ne′el temperatures and correlation lengths which are fitted very well with the experimental datas.(2)By using a quasi-two-dimensional. (2) antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, we eliminate the effect of the 2D NLSM,and get reliable theoretical datas. (3)Collaborating with other colleague, we find a fractal-to-compact island shape transition can be induced to the surfactant-mediated epitaxial growth, and explore the possibility of controllable growth and the structure stability of the surfactant nanomaterial (4) By using an accurate density-functional method, we predict a series of robust half-metallic (HM) ferromagnets, and study their electronic structures and magnetic properties. We also prove the structural stability. (5)We introduce a cumulant force-constant method to study the phonon-dispersion curves for a series of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT’s). (6) We develop a simple but useful tight-binding-bond (TBB) theory to study the band magnetism. (7) We develop a microscopic mechanism of a series of nanoferromagnetism. (8) We develop a method to study a series of spin dynamics of a nanomagnet which are used to information processing and storing, and find the method to controll magnetization. (9) We propose a phase-field method is a reliable approach to phase dynamics of surface phase transitions.
