Research experience

Prof. Yin’s researches focus on intelligent nanomaterials and devices, mainly through experimental methods.

A, He observed drawing potential and waving potential in graphene, revealed their mechanisms and realized several energy conversion devices and self-powered sensors.

B, He verified the dimensional reduction of charge carriers in graphite, and observed the quantum Hall effect (QHE) in graphite films with thickness up to hundreds of layer number, which was referred to as 2.5 dimensional version of QHE.

C, He revealed several interesting phenomena related to the adhesion and friction interaction at interfaces dominated by Van der Waals forces.

For details, please refer to his representative papers.
