Recent Activities:Field Trip to Chinese Spallation Neutron Source and Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment Station

On December 3rd 2016, Prof Lu and I joined a field trip to visit two large experimental facility affiliated to Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS. One is the Chinese Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) in Dongguan, Guangdong. The experimental setups are in the process of installing and debugging. Three beamline stations are designed for the first phase of the project, which are expected to be open to user in 2018.… Read More

Recent Activities: Croucher Summer Course on Neutron Scattering at CityU

neutron summer coursceThis summer, we attended the 2016 Croucher Summer Course on Neutron Scattering held at the City University of Hong Kong. The China Spallation Neutron Source in Dongguan will be open to user in 2018. This course aims at training potential users for this newly built facility. Different from X-rays, neutrons interact only with the nucleus of materials, giving it excellent sensitivity to light atoms as well as isotopes.… Read More

Research Highlights : Understanding Morphology Compatibility for High-Performance Ternary Organic Solar Cells

tenary cell compatibilityTernary organic solar cells are emerging as a promising strategy to enhance device power conversion efficiency by broadening the range of light absorption via the incorporation of additional light-absorbing components. However, how to find compatible materials that allow comparable loadings of each component remains a challenge. In this article, we focus on studying the donor polymer compatibilities in ternary systems from a morphological point of view.… Read More
