Yu is mainly engaged in the research and teaching in the fields of X-ray crystallography， metal physics and solid physics and has made outstanding achievements. In the 1930s， he developed Chinas first Geiger counter. In 1942， he established a new synthesis method of X-ray crystal structure analysis and therefore was regarded as the first class crystallographist in the world. He also developed Chinas first pumped X-ray generator in the 1940s and first pumped X-ray tube for medical use in the 1950s.

Yan is one of the founders of modern physics research in China. He precisely determined the “Adverse Phenomena” of the Curie piezoelectric effedt and discovered the dual –refraction effect of light. He tackled and examined systematically the electrification phenomena of the crystal cylinder under torsion， established the crystal torsion-electricity principle， carried out deepgoing investigation on the spectrum of alkaline metal vapor， etc.. and discolsed the axis-symmetric molecular effective cross-section value different from that of the Fermi-Linesburg Epuation， providing abundant experimental evidences for the Stack effect in atomic physics. He also precisely edtermined the ultra-violet absorbing coefficient of ozone， which was used for over 30years for observing the varation of the ozonosphere depth by meteorologists from all over the world. In his study on the influence of pressure on the light-sensitivity of photoemulsion， he found that pressure turns out tu weaken emulsions sensitivity.

He became Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1955.

Lu was mainly engaged in the research on crystal physics and X-ray crystallography. He was one of the primary originators of crystal physics study in China and the chief founder of Chinas research contingent for X-ray crystallography. In his early years， he initiated the method for the determination of solid solubility curves in a phase diagram by using crystal lattice constants， which is still used today. Hh also made important contributions to the study of crystal structures and alloy phase diagrams by applying X-ray multi-crystal powder diffraction techniques.

He became Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1955.
