个人简介

David Muller is the Samuel B. Eckert Professor of Engineering in Applied and Engineering Physics at Cornell University, and the co-director of the Kavli Institute at Cornell for Nanoscale Science A major focus of David's research has been developing quantitative electron microscopy methods for measuring and predicting materials properties. His work has demonstrated how electronic-structure changes on the atomic scale can control the macroscopic behavior of systems as diverse as turbine blades, fuel cells or transistors. His current research interests include the physics of renewable energy materials, the atomic-scale control of materials to create electronic phases that cannot exist in the bulk, and developing the hardware and algorithms for "big data" acquisition and processing from high-bandwith pixelated electron microscope detectors. He joined the Applied and Engineering Physics faculty at Cornell University in 2003, is a graduate of the University of Sydney and completed his Ph.D. in physics at Cornell in 1996. David was a member of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories from 1997 to 2003, where he applied his research on imaging single atoms and atomic-scale spectroscopy to determine the physical limits on how small a transistor can be made. For this work, he was named one of the top 100 young innovators in 2003 by Tech Review Magazine, and recipient of the Burton Medal from the Microscopy Society of America in 2006. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, received the Chau award for Excellence in Teaching in 2006 and the Provost's Award for Distinguished Scholarship in 2010 from Cornell University. He has 5 patents and has published over 250 papers, including more than 20 in Nature or Science. His work has received over 28,000 citations .

研究领域

The primary thrust of our research is to explore how electronic and structural changes on small length scales affect the macroscopic properties of materials. In particular: how interfaces affect transport properties (eg. in 5-atom thick gate oxides we have used atomic-scale electron energy loss spectroscopy to place fundamental physical limits on device scaling - Nature paper and viewpoint); the role of electronic structure in controlling the cohesion of interfaces (Phys. Rev. Lett.); and the first detection and real-space characterization of individual dopant atoms and clusters buried inside crystals. In many cases, our tool of choice will be an atomic-resolution electron microscope. We are always looking to develop new methods that advance electron microscopy, including developing new detectors that allow us to explore new physics, and using novel sample holders and microscopes to image vacuum sensitive materials. Areas of interest: Physics of renewable energy including the nanostructure of Fuel Cells, Batteries, and Photocatalysts and their real-time evolution during operation. Structure and properties of two-dimensional materials. Atomic-scale perovskite heterostructures: atom-by-atom design of materials that do not exist in nature, explored for extreme dielectric and nonlinear properties. Physical limits placed by interfacial electronic structure and atomic-scale chemistry on the scaling of integrated circuits. Development of high-resolution, low-dose methods for electron imaging and tomography of beam sensitive nanostructures. Mapping photonic and plasmonic structures with nm-sized relativistic electron beams Development of new electron microscopy methods and instrumentation
