Personal Statement

Xiaolei Wang preceeded her Ph.D degree at City University of Hong Kong, and then went to University of Cambridge as a visitor. After Ph.D graduation in 2013, she joined Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences as an assistant professor. In 2019, she moved to Beijing University of Technology as an associate professor. Over the past years, she has been engaged in the physical property manipulation and device investigation of non-volatile storage materials for a long time. She has achieved the following innovative results: (1) The new functions of single-phase ferrous memristor materials have been exploited, such as stress sensing, frequency regulation and space-time resolution, etc.The storage window is 6 times higher than traditional flash. The energy consumption of the device is one-thousandth of CMOS. (2) The interface passivation technology has been developed. Organic molecules are used to induce the metal-insulator phase transition in semiconductors. The problem of conductance mismatch at organic/semiconductor interface has been solved, and the 98% spin injection efficiency has been achieved. At the same time, the magnetic properties have been greatly manipulated, which is more than twice of the highest record by electric field modulation. (3) Through the design of atomic occupancy, the precise regulation of crystal structure, topological property and spin orientation is realized in antiferromagnetic materials. The carrier concentration changes by more than one order of magnitude, and the anisotropic magnetoresistance effect increases by 5 times. She has published 65 academic papers, with 1046 citations and 3 papers cited more than 100 times. There are 29 first/corresponding author papers, including Nat. Commun. (2 articles), and Adv. Mater., Nano Lett.,etc. She has presided two projects of Surface project (NSFC) and Talent Special Project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, etc. This project intends to utilize antiferromagnetic spintronics to achieve universal, rapid and sensitive chiral detection of biological molecules.
