Transition-metal chalcogenides have long been of interest due to their rich electronic band structures and physical properties. In our group, we focused on design and synthesis of new transition metal chalcogenide superconductors via several methods (e.g. solid state method, wet chemical method, flux method, et al.). Combing experiment and theory calculation, a series of new transition-metal chalcogenides superconductors (e.g. 2H-CuxNbSe2, 1T-Ti1-xTaxSe2, TaSe2-xTex, 2H-CuxNbSe2-xSx, Cu0.5Ir2-xMxTe4, Ir1-xMxTe2) have been designed and synthesized. Further, their physical properties such as resistivity, critical fields, magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity et al. were studied in detail. Finally, the superconducting phase diagrams for new transition metal chalcogenide superconductors were made.

From 2003 to 2007, Prof. Luo did her bachelor study at the Zhengzhou University. From 2007 to 2009, she spent two years for her master study at the South China University of Technology. In 2009, she moved to Germany and became a Ph.D student in Prof. Jürgen Caro group the Leibniz University of Hannover. In 2012, she graduated from the Leibniz University of Hannover. After graduated, she moved to USA and became a postdoc associate in Prof Robert Cava group at the Princeton University. Since 2017, she moved back to China and became a full professor in School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Sun Yat-Sen University.
