Welcome to Chen Research Group: Featured Works

Our Group's Research Interests

  • Phase-field method and software development
  • Multiscale modeling integrating density functional theory (DFT) calculations, thermodynamic analysis, and phase-field simulations
  • Domain structures and switching in ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, ferroelastic and multiferroic thin films and devices
  • Interactions between electronic/ionic defects and ferroelectric domains, dielectric degradation and breakdown
