BIO
XiZhang received her B.S. in Physics from Lanzhou University and her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Pennsylvania State University. After receiving her Ph.D., she joined Sichuan University in 2010. She is a faculty member in the Department of Microelectronics and is one of the leaders of the AMSP (Advanced Materials and Spin Physics) group. Dr. Zhang’s research interests include:(1) design of electronic, optoelectronic and spintronic materials usingthe first principle calculations; (2)synthesis of the advancedmaterialswith a specific emphasis on semiconductor nanowires, quantum dots and 2D thin filmsusing chemical vapor deposition, thermal evaporation and single-mode microwavegrowths; (3) characterizations of the materials using HRTEM, SEM, AFM,MOKE, magneto-transport and so on.Her researches aresupported by various foundations such as Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC),National 985 PlatformConstruction Foundation, Science and Technology Key Foundationof Sichuan Province,and Scientific Research Start-up Foundation of Sichuan University. She currently serves as a reviewerof SCI journals includingthe ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces and the Journal of Physical Chemistry C, and is a member of evaluation expertsof the Natural Science Foundation of Chinaand Science and Technology Department of Sichuan Province. She is a co-author on over 40 publications in refereed journals and holds 3 CN.Patents.
