Xueliang (Andy) Sun Ph.D.
Dr Sun’s research is associated with materials science and surface science. Particular interests in his lab are concentrated on nanostructured materials, including carbon nanotubes and nanowires. They involve in synthesis, characterization and applications towards sensing technologies and energy conversion. An important aspect in his studies is to apply various modern characterization techniques such as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning Auger microscopy (SAM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and electrochemical methods. His research is a mixture of fundamental studies and practical applications: • Synthesis, characterization and applications of carbon nanotubes • Synthesis, characterization and applications of nanowires • Chemical, electrochemical, optical and biological nanosensors • Fuel cells for clean energy • Coatings and thin films for corrosion protection of materials EducationB.Sc.

By this ResearcherRelated ContentNIST 'Nanotubes on a Chip' Aims To Lead Power MeasurementsA novel chip-scale instrument made from carbon nanotubes may simplify absolute measurements of laser power. Developers of the unit at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) say it may prove especially useful for measuring light signals transmitted by optical fibers in telecom networks.
Two-Dimensional NanostructuresAfter the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene," even more research and development efforts have been focused on two-dimensional nanostructures. Illustrating the importance of this area in future applications, Two-Dimensional Nanostructures covers the fabrication methods and properties of these materials.
Researchers Build Optical Nanostructures To Enable Self-Focusing LightAn international team led by Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science has built optical nanostructures that can control light dispersion and engineer the index of refraction. This control of light propagation via photonic chips could prove a major breakthrough for telecommunications.
