Dr. Zhijun Jiang carries out research in the field of computational condensed matter physics. His current interests mainly lie in developing and/or using direct first-principles methods and first-principles-based techniques to:

    1. predict topological defects and related phenomena in ferroelectrics, relaxors, and multiferroics.

    2. optimize subtle cross-coupling properties, including electro-optic, electrocaloric, elasto-optic, and piezoelectric effects.

    3. design materials with high energy densities and efficiencies. 

    4. design multifunctionality via assembling dissimilar materials that can enhance physical properties or even create novel phenomena.

姜志军，男，西安交通大学特聘研究员，博士生导师。研究方向为计算凝聚态物理，研究领域主要集中在铁电、弛豫铁电体和多铁性材料；在有效哈密顿量方法发展、理论模型建立、材料设计与物性预测等方面取得了一系列研究成果。近几年的工作主要是通过有效哈密顿量方法和基于第一性原理的方法研究铁电、弛豫铁电体、多铁性材料中特殊的物理性质，例如，拓扑缺陷及相关现象、电卡效应、电光效应、弹光效应、电致伸缩效应和能量存储等；其代表性工作发表在Phys. Rev. Lett.、Nano Lett.、Phys. Rev. B、Appl. Phys. Lett.等期刊上。担任PRL、PRB、APL、Acta Materialia、ACS Energy Letters、npj Computational Materials等国际知名期刊审稿人。
