Development of ab initio Anharmonic Algorithms
The concept of potential energy surfaces (PESs) plays an essential role in molecular systems. Minima on PESs are associated with stable structures, and a given minimum harmonic frequency derived from the curvature is the...
G-quadruplex DNA and G-quadruplex ligands
Dr. Chang's group has focused on guanine-quadruplex (G4) DNA, particularly (1) the NMR study of conformational change of G4 DNA ; (2) imaging study of o-BMVC foci for G4 DNA in cells ; and...
Van der Waals heterostructure for 2D-semiconductor-based field-effect transistors
One of the major advantages of two-dimensional (2D) materials is the enormous versatility of their properties . By combining two or more distinct 2D materials to form van der Waals heterostructures, unprecedented opportunities to...
Rich Phenomena and Opportunities in the Quantum Interface of a Chirally-coupled Atomic Chain
Dr. Jen’s group recently investigated nonequilibrium dynamics in a chirally-coupled atomic chain which can be utilized as a quantum interface to retain the memory of initial quantum states and provide a means for...
