Biography

Zhenyang received the B.S degree from Peking University in 1995 and the Ph.D. degree in condensed matter physics from Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, China in 2001. From April 2001 to December 2003 and from May 2005 to December 2005, I worked in Institute for Semiconductor Physics, Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria, and from April 2004 to April 2005, I worked in Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart, German, as a post-doctoral research fellow. Since 2006, I worked in Department of Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai, China, as an associate professor. My research interest focus on controlled formation of varieties of nanostructures on Si substrates, including nanowires and nanodots of GeSi, compound semiconductor and diluted magnetic semiconductor, and on exploration of the unique properties and the applications of those nanostructures. I has authored or coauthored 38 journal articles and 2 book chapters.

Research Interest

Fabrication of site-controlled quantum dots; investigations of unique properties of single quantum dots and quantum dot molecule;exploration of novel microelectronic devices based on single quantum dot or a quantum dot molecule.
Fabrication of quantum dot crystal to combine the opto-electronic properties of single quantum dot and the distributed feed back effect or photonic crystal effect associated with the ordered structures, or to exploit the formation of subband due to the strong coupling of carriers in quantum dot crystal
