研究领域

Leng's research group at the Department of Applied Physics, PolyU focuses on the chemical design, synthesis, physics and device applications of low-dimensional materials such as organic-inorganic hybrid 2D materials. 1.Quantum confined 2D systems 2.Low dimensional physics 3. Charge, energy and phonon dynamics 4. Atomic-Scale Microscopy Exploring how the quasi-2D physics of hybrid materials is modulated by compositional and dimensional engineering helps to understand their intrinsic photophysical property and optimize device performance.
