Research
Multifunctional materials and devices, material physics, dielectrics, ferroelectrics, and flexoelectric effects in biomaterials.
Currently, Dr. Fu’s research focuses on the studies of dielectric and ferroelectric properties of materials at the mesoscopic scale and their applications in device designs. Theoretical research topics in his group include phase transition phenomena in finite-sized ferroelectrics and the micromechanism of flexoelectric phenomena; his experimental studies involve diversified research topics, such as pyroelectric and electrocaloric properties of artificial ferroelectric nano-structures and polymer materials, the positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) effect in ferroelectric semiconductors, flexoelectric effects in biomaterials, etc.
