Congratulations! Prof. Sun Jun, a professor at XJTU’s School of Materials Science and Engineering, has been elected as a member of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). His research interests include th...

The Ge2Sb2Te5 alloy has served as the core material in phase-change memories with high switching speed and persistent storage capability at room temperature. However widely used, this composition is n...

Lattice defects are typically used to tailor the thermoelectric properties of materials. It is desirable that such defects improve the electrical conductivity, while, at the same time, reduce the ther...

Tailoring the degree of disorder in chalcogenide phase-change materials (PCMs) plays an essential role in nonvolatile memory devices and neuro-inspired computing. Upon rapid crystallization from the a...

School of Materials Science & Engineering provides interested researchers and students a focused Course -- Froniters in Materials Research under the framework of University Alliance of the Silk Road (...

Materials with layered crystal structures and high in-plane anisotropy, such as black phosphorus, present unique properties and thus promise for applications in electronic and photonic devices. Recent...

Deformation mechanism map (DMM) is vital important for the design and fabrication of metal components with high performance and long service life. As early as 1972, Ashby has developed the DMMs of bul...

Based on the observation of the microstructural evolution using advanced characterization methods such as synchrotron X-ray microdiffraction and TEM, researchers from Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU)...

Luminescent liquid crystals have received much attention both in scientific and industrial fields due to their combination of intrinsic light-emitting ability and self-healing features within a liquid...

As a fundamental property of matters, chirality can be extensively found in nature, ranging from microscopic spin of electrons and structures of organic molecules, to macroscopic spiral arms of galaxi...
