Understanding Nanostructured Materials using Advanced Electron Microscopy

Abstract

Low-dimensional nanostructures including metal chalcogenides have attracted numerous research interests recently because of their exotic properties associated with their thermoelectric and topological insulating applications. However, as promising candidates for advanced nanosystems and nanodevices, the structural characteristics of these nanostructures can be directly related to their formations and their demonstrated properties. For this reason, it is necessary to clarify these nanostructures. In this presentation, I will present our recent achievements in understanding the morphological, structural, and chemical characteristics of low-dimensional metal chalcogenides using advanced electron microscopy.

Biography

Dr. Jin Zou

Emeritus Professor, The University of Queensland, Australia

Jin Zou is an Emeritus Professor in the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering (Materials Engineering) and an affiliated Professor in the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis at the University of Queensland, Australia. Professor Zou earned his Masters degree from the University of Science and Technology, Beijing in 1985 under the supervision of Professor K. H. Kuo and Professor Fang-hua Li, and PhD from the University of Sydney in 1994 under the supervision of Professor David Cockayne. Through his postgraduate studies, he was trained as a transmission electron microscopist. After his PhD, he worked in the Australian Key Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis at the University of Sydney for 10 years with several Australian fellowships, including an Australian Postdoctoral fellowship and a Queen Elizabeth II fellowship. Professor Zou moved to the University of Queensland in July 2003. In 2009, Professor Zou won an inaugural ARC Future Fellowship (FT3 - Professor level). In 2021, Professor Zou became an Emeritus Professor.

Over the years, Professor Zou's research interest has been focused on the understanding of the evolution of advanced, smart and nano-scaled materials and the understanding of fundamental properties of these materials through detailed correlating their fabrication and demonstrated properties with their morphological, structural and chemical characteristics (determined by electron microscopy); and on the formation of high-performance functional nanomaterials and their advanced applications, particular in the fields of energy and environmental protection.
