Brief Introduction
Research Associate Professor Lin Xie is interested in advanced electron microscopy and its application in the characterization of functional materials, e.g. multiferroic strong-correlation oxides and thermoelectrics. In the research of property-structure relations of functional materials, I would combine the state-of-the-art advanced electron microscopy techniques (atomic-resolution scanning/transmission electron microscopy, X-ray energy-dispersive spectra and electron energy-loss spectroscopy), in situ TEM and density functional theory calculations. Now I have published 35 research papers on Nature, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials and Nano Letters.
