I am especially thankful to Asst Prof Long Cheng, my supervisor, mentor, and friend, who deserves much of the credit for this thesis. When I was faced with a gap year, he went out of his way to help me and gave me a chance to pursue the degree. Prof. Long sparked my initial interest in research and taught me how to conduct and communicate research. Prof. Long's guidance, wisdom, and support has made it possible for me to achieve my potential.I am so thankful that Xu Qianxiong helps me a lot during the experiment design and points out some room for improvement in my research.
