Personal Biography

Mainly engaged in research on measurement method & system setup & instrument development for scanning probe microscopy (SPM), especially in scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) with over ten years of research experience and technical expertise.

For the design of functional nano-probes, numerical simulation methods were developed based on near-field optical convolution imaging model and dipole moment coupling model; An aperture-type SNOM system with phase and chirality resolution was developed, capable of characterizing local photonic spin-orbit interactions with a phase drift rate of <4°/min; A scattering-type SNOM system with vector and optical-frequency magnetic field resolution was established, enabling local vector characterization of optical-frequency magnetic fields (f > 550 THz); A SThM system with 3D differential scanning method was developed, achieving local temperature characterization with spatial resolution <90 nm and temperature resolution <0.5 K under ambient conditions; A SThDM system with sideband (de)modulation was established, achieving lateral resolution <20 nm and vertical resolution <10 pm for local thermal deformation/thermal phase transition characterization. In addition, extensive experience has been gained in developing low-temperature near-field optical instruments and room-temperature nano-infrared spectroscopy instruments.
