Liyuan Zhang receives SUSTech’s President’s Award for Outstanding Research
SUSTech recognised Hisao Ishibuchi, Jigen Tang and Liyuan Zhang individually at its 2019 Teachers’ Day ceremony.
SUSTech held its Teachers’ Day awards ceremony at Runyang Gymnasium on the afternoon of 9 September. Acting Vice President and head of research Yusheng Zhao presented the President’s Award for Outstanding Research to three faculty members, including Liyuan Zhang of the Department of Physics.
In May that year, Zhang’s group and its collaborators had reported a three-dimensional quantum Hall experiment in Nature. They measured resistance in millimetre-scale ZrTe₅ crystals at low temperatures and in a magnetic field, looking for Hall plateaus previously studied mainly in two-dimensional electron systems.
