Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sida Liu is now a professor of Shandong University, a national young talent. The self-designed and improved Al-Ti-B-C (TCB) seed alloy series products have been exported to more than ten countries such as Germany, Italy and Korea, and have been promoted and applied in well-known enterprises. Presided over or participated in many research projects in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Germany, etc. He has published more than 20 SCI papers in Science Advances, Acta Materialia, JACS, Materials Today and other journals, including more than 10 papers by the first/corresponding author, and served as guest editor of Crystal. The research experience has been reported by CCTV, DAAD and other media or institutions.
Xuejian Xie is now a professor of Shandong University, "Qilu Young Scholar". He has been mainly engaged in the single ctystal growth and performance characterization of wide bandgap semiconductor materials. Till now, he has published more than 30 SCI/EI papers, authorized 6 invention patents. He has also undertaken the national and provincial level scientific projects as project leader such as National Natural Science Foundation of China and take part in National key research and development program as key member.
