Zikang Tang Ph.D.
Professor Tang's main research interests include fabrication and characterization of nanostructured semiconductors and metals; study of light absorption and light emission of nanostructured materials. Professor Tang and colleagues have demonstrated for the first time that single-walled carbon nanotubes with a diameter of 0.4 nanometer, the smallest carbon nanotubes in the world, are stable in air. They have not only provided novel samples for forefront research on carbon nanotubes, but have also opened up new fields for carbon tube applications in various hi-tech areas such as electronics, information technology and biology. Nature, a leading international science journal, published their research in November 2000. Following this success, superconductivity has been discovered in these nanotubes.EducationProfessor Zikang Tang earned his BSc degree (1983) from Hangzhou University. He completed his PhD degree at Tohoku University in 1992. |

Advanced Dielectric Piezoelectric and Ferroelectrc Materials: Synthesis, Characterisation and ApplicationsThis comprehensive volume covers the latest developments in advanced dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric materials. Divided into eight parts, it explores high strain high performance piezo- and ferroelectric single crystals, electric field-induced effects and domain engineering, morphotropic phase boundary-related phenomena, high power piezoelectric and microwave dielectric materials, nanoscale piezo- and ferroelectrics, piezo- and ferroelectric films, novel processing and materials, and novel properties of ferroelectrics and related materials. Each chapter looks at key recent research on these materials, their properties, and potential applications. Advanced Structural Materials: Properties, Design Optimization, and ApplicationsA snapshot of the central ideas used to control fracture properties of engineered structural metallic materials, Advanced Structural Materials: Properties, Design Optimization, and Applications illustrates the critical role that advanced structural metallic materials play in aerospace, biomedical, automotive, sporting goods, and other industries in the twenty-first century. The book presents an overview of the structure, properties, and applications of these materials, including the basic ideas behind their design. It contains examples and accessible language, elucidating the basic concepts that guide the development of new alloys and composite materials. With in-depth reviews from leading contributors, the text develops an understanding of the breadth and depth of advances in the field. It begins with a broad introduction to advanced structural materials, then examines materials at the frontiers of emerging applications such as biomaterials, MEMS, amorphous materials, and nanotechnology. The chapter authors are experts in their own right and they assume no prior knowledge of a given material system, delineating the fundamental concepts and applications of advanced structural materials. The rich array of carefully selected topics provides useful insights into the structure, properties, and applications of advanced structural materials. |
