Materials Science

Materials Science Group

The group gathered many distinguished experts engaged in cutting-edge research in the design, development, and application of synchrotron X-ray techniques, involving X-ray scattering, multiple diffraction, powder diffraction, temporal coherent X-ray diffraction, submicron X-ray diffraction etc., for advanced materials. Each group member maintains his or her own research team focusing on their particular area of expertise. There are five overreaching research themes prevalent in the group:

New experimental techniques and analytic methods for X-ray diffraction
Crystallography in materials science
Growth mechanism of thin films
Structural characteristics and properties of soft materials
Design of nanomaterials for energy devices
