Peng Tan Lab
We are an experimental research group interested in soft condensed matter physics, including self-assembly and phase transition in complex fluids, fluid-fluid interaction and fluid-solid interaction, and rheology in soft matter.
Phase Transition
With appropriate particle size, time scale and adjustable potential, colloidal particles are viewed as a decent ‘simulation system’ for the true atoms. And with our powerful confocal microscopy...
Amorphous Solid
Amorphous materials are solids with mechanical moduli but structurally disordered like liqids. One big challenge in amorphous solids is to clarify the nature of glass and glass transition...
