Du You Wei, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, biography
Specialist in magnetics and magnetic materials. Professor, Nanjing University. He was born in November 1936 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. He graduated from the Department of Physics of Nanjing University in 1957. He is currently the deputy director of the Magnetism Professional Committee of the Chinese Physical Society, the deputy director of the Ultrafine Particles Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Particulates, and the vice chairman of the Chinese Society of Instrument Materials. In 2005, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
He has been engaged in the teaching and research of magnetism and magnetic materials for a long time, and has carried out research on the relationship between magnetism, magnetic transport properties and material composition and microstructure. The large magnetic entropy transformation effect of manganese perovskite compounds and the tunneled magnetoresistance effect in the small particle system of manganese perovskite compounds were studied, and the small size effect and surface effect of magnetic nanoparticles, as well as the dependence of giant magnetoresistance, magneto-optical effect, anomalous Hall effect and microstructure of particle films, were studied. His current research focuses on the magnetic properties of nanomaterials and the transport properties associated with spins. In addition, in the 80s, the magnetic order in high-temperature superconductors was studied by using Fe57 as a probe and the Mossbauer effect, and the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetic order was discovered, and the 3d element substitution of YBCO high-temperature superconducting materials was carried out, which provided an experimental basis for the exploration of superconductivity mechanism.
