Zhang was mainly engaged in the experimental research of nuclear physics and comic ray physics and made prominent achievements. He identified the N.Bohr drop model and invented the polymitus spark counter. In the late 1940s, by studying the cosmic rays with the aid of a cloud chamber in the US, he confirmed that there is no strong interaction between the muon and nucleus and verified the existence of the muonic atom in his investigation of the muon absorption, thus initiating a new research topic about the muonic atom. He made important contributions to the resea rch on λ-hyperon and particle dispersion, the basic work of constructing Beijing Electron and Positron Collider, and the estab lishment of cosmic ray laboratory on mountains.
He became Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1957.

Physicist. Born in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province. Graduated from Qinghua University in 1934. Received Ph.D. in Cambridge University, UK in 1938. Research professor, Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Zhang was mainly engaged in the research teaching theoretical physics, especially in the aspects of statistic physics, quantum-mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, quantum field theory, etc.. In the 1930s, he made several original achievements in the cooperative phenomenon, especially in the statistic physics theory of sosoliod.
He had many original ideas and obtained research results of international advanced standard in establishing the formation of quantum field theory, particularly in the quantum field theories of high order differential and high spin particle. In the late 1940s, he did a lot of research and obtained important results in mathematical formation of field theory, representation of Lorentz group, renormalization theory, statistic physics, dispersion relation, and straton model and so on.
He became Member of the Chinese the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1957.

Mechanics scientist. Born in Rongcheng, Shandong Province. Graduated from Peking University in 1935 and stayed on doing graduate work. Received Ph.D. from California Institute of Technology, USA In 1945. Research professor and deputy director, Institute of Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In 1946, he and H.S. Tsien pointed out that in the transonic flow field, it is the upper critical Mach number of the coming flow other than the lower one that is significant. This finding played the decisive role in solving the technical problem of breaking through the “sonic barrier”. Around 1953, he devoted himself successfully to the study of interaction between the shock wave and boundary layer, obtained theoretical expressions for velocity and pressure in the interaction domain of supersonic flow and boundary layer, and improved the singular perturbation methods(namely, Poincare-Lightill-Kuo method). In the 1960s,he obtained significant achievements in detonation mechanics and hypersonic flow and made outstanding contributions to the development of nuclear weapons.
He became Member of the Chinese the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1957.
