主讲人简介/Biography:

Dr. Qian Yang is currently a Leverhulme Research Fellow at the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the University of Manchester, UK. She got PhD in Material Science and Engineering in 2018 from Southwest Jiaotong University. Her research focused on the mass transport in 2D nanocapillaries enabled by van der Waals technology, molecular properties under spatial confinement, nanofluidics and other electrokinetic phenomena. She has published several high-impact papers, including 5 in Nature and Science. She is also the recipient of the Dame Kathleen Ollerenshaw Fellowships and the European Research Council Starting Grant in 2022.

讲座摘要/Abstract:

Isolated two-dimensional (2D) crystals can be assembled into designer structures layer-by-atomic-layer in a precisely chosen sequence. Remarkably complex structures have been demonstrated and have revealed unique properties and new phenomena. This has laid the foundations of a research field usually referred to as van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. Using vdW technology, we have reported the creation of two-dimensional nanocapillary. It can be viewed as if individual atomic planes were pulled out of a bulk crystal leaving an atomically thin void behind. This technology offers the smallest possible empty spaces that can vary from just a few angstroms in height up to many nanometers on demand. On this basis, we investigated mass transport process, including ions transport and the peculiar properties of water under such strong confinement. I will talk about our latest progress on nanocapillaries and our work regarding mass transport in other 2D systems.
