研究领域

Nan Yao’s research has been focused on utilizing advanced imaging, diffraction, spectroscopy and manipulation techniques, in tandem with molecular dynamic simulation, to conduct fundamental studies of the structure-composition-processing-property relationships in complex materials for applications in nanotechnology, energy, environment and health. He has published 2books entitled “Handbook of Microscopy for Nanotechnology” (Kluwer/Springer Publishers 2005,Chinese edition: Tsinghua University Press 2006, Russian edition: Springer Publishers 2011)and “Focused Ion Beam System: Basics and Applications” (Cambridge University Press2007), 16book chapters, and a total of over220 technical publications on nanoscience, materials and microscopy in journals including Science, Nature, Nano Letters, and many others. Three major research areas: (a)Fundamental studies of complex materials of natural and synthetic origins and their applications in nanotechnology, energy, environment, and medical science. (b)Investigation of electron, ion, X-ray, atomic force properties and their interactions with materials for advancing nanoscale imaging and analysis technology (c)Physical examination of structure and properties of organic-inorganic (soft-hard) interfaces of nanostructured materials
