DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED PHYSICS 138 Email ye.ap.zhu@polyu.edu.hk Qualification BEng (Tsinghua University) MA Sc (McMaster University) PhD (University of Wisconsin-Madison) ORCID ID 0000-0002-5217-493X Dr ZHU Ye Associate Professor Research Overview Dr Zhu aims to understand properties of emerging materials from the atomic-structure perspective, using tools including but not limited to TEM. More specifically, he is interested in: (1) exploring emerging physics such as ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity, and phase switching in novel 2D materials down to monolayer thickness (2) understanding reaction mechanisms for energy conversion/storage, through capturing reaction dynamics using in situ and ex situ characterisation techniques including liquid/gas TEM holders (3) developing ultralow-dose TEM techniques to unravel atomic structure information in beam sensitive materials including hybrid perovskites, polymers, MOFs, and battery materials (4) developing novel 4D-STEM techniques to reveal the intrinsic electric and magnetic fields in functional materials at nanometre or even atomic scale Representative Publications • Nat.
