Associate Professor Lan Wang
Dr Lan Wang is an Associate Professor in the
Research fields
Our research fields focus on topological condensed matter systems, spintronics, and magnetic materials. We grow single crystals, thin films and nanostructures. Based on these materials, we fabricate devices for electron and spin transport measurements. We also collaborate with other research groups to investigate the optical properties of these novel materials and devices. Our aims are to understand the fundamental physics of these novel materials and devices and to fabricate the next generation prototype spintronic devices.
