刘健鹏课题组介绍
The research focus of our group is primarily in the field of condensed matter theory and first-principles calculations of quantum materials systems. There is a broad interest in theoretical studies and first-principles calculations of electronic structures, topological properties, Coulomb correlation effects, as well as transport and optical properties in quantum materials systems. In recent years, the PI of the research group has obtained a numer of fundings including the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Principal Investigator, 2021), the Ministry of Science and Technology's Quantum Control and Quantum Information major project (core member, 2020), etc.
Our recent research interests primarily focus on several directions:
(1) Theoretical studies of band topology, Coulomb correlation effects, transport properties, and optical properties in Moiré two-dimensional superlattice systems and heterostructures of two-dimensional materials. For example, theoretical investigations of novel states such as topological properties, electronic structures, correlated insulating states, orbital magnetic states, phonon and electron-phonon coupling effects (such as polaron, charge order, superconductivity) in twisted bilayer graphene and twisted multilayer graphene systems, as well as physical properties of fractional Chern insulator (fractional quantum anomalous Hall) states.
(2) Development of many-body computational methods for studying the ground states and excitation properties for both electron and lattice degrees of freedom, such as Hartree-Fock, RPA, GW, Hedin-Baym perturbation methods, and exact diagonalization methods.
(3) Theoretical studies of the electronic structure and properties of magnetic topological materials and correlated topological materials. For instance, theoretical research on the electronic structure, topological properties, and electron-phonon coupling effects in lattices with cage-like structures, correlated metallic systems, and magnetic topological materials.
(4) Response theory of quantum materials systems, such as piezoelectricity, magnetoelectricity, magneto-optics, nonlinear optical responses, and preliminary exploration of the non-equilibrium physics of quantum materials coupled with strong light fields.
课题组的研究领域主要是凝聚态理论以及量子材料体系的第一性原理计算。对量子材料体系中的电子结构、拓扑性质、库伦关联效应、以及输运和光学性质的理论研究和第一性原理计算有广泛兴趣。近年来,课题组PI分别获得国家自然科学基金面上项目 (负责人,2021)、科技部重点研发计划 (核心成员,2020),并入选中组部国家级青年人才计划(2022)。
近期的研究兴趣主要在几个方向:
(1) 摩尔二维超晶格体系、以及二维材料异质结体系中能带拓扑性、库伦关联效应、输运性质和光学性质的理论研究。例如,对转角双层石墨烯和转角多层石墨烯体系的拓扑性质、电子结构、关联绝缘态、轨道磁性态、声子和电声耦合效应、陈绝缘体和分数陈绝缘体等新奇物态的理论研究。
(2) 发展处理量子多体系统中电子和晶格自由度的量子多体计算方法,如Hartree-Fock, RPA, GW, Hedin-Baym微扰论,数值严格对角化等。
(3) 磁性拓扑材料以及关联拓扑材料的电子结构和物性的理论研究。例如,对笼目晶格结构的关联金属体系和磁性拓扑材料的电子结构、拓扑性质、电声耦合效应的理论研究。
(4) 量子材料体系的响应理论,如压电、磁电、磁光、非线性光学响应等等。近期在初步探索量子材料与强光场耦合情况下的非平衡物理。
