Research Interests
Professor Duan Changkui has long been engaged in the study of mechanisms of solid doping and point defects, solid-state luminescence, and solid-state quantum systems, mainly using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. In 2007, he received the First Prize of Chongqing Natural Science Award as the first contributor. He proposed a simplified model for rare-earth f-d transitions and a method combining first-principles and phenomenological models, which has been widely applied. He developed various temperature sensing schemes based on fluorescence from rare-earth or transition metal activated ions and revealed the excited state structures and dynamic processes of post-transition metal ion-doped centers. He has published over 240 SCI research papers, including 1 in Science, 2 in Nature Communications, 10 in Physical Review Letters, 29 in Physical Review A/B/D, 1 in Chemical Society Reviews, 1 in Coordination Chemistry Reviews, and 1 in Nano Letters. His papers have been cited over 6000 times, with an H-INDEX of 42. Recently, he has been focusing on the excited state structures and the optical, electrical, and magnetic properties, as well as quantum sensing related to transition metal ions, post-transition metal ion-doped centers, and intrinsic defects in solids.Publication Records: https://publons.com/researcher/1429860/chang-kui-duan/
