Expertise

Prof. Jinwoo Hwang develops new atomic-scale characterization techniques based on scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) to investigate the structural origins of a wide range of important properties of materials. We combine the novel STEM techniques, including fluctuation microscopy, electron nano diffraction, and 4D-STEM, with advanced computational simulations to determine the important structure-property relationships beyond the limits of conventional characterization or simulation methods. Current research topics include:

 

  • Electronic Materials: Defects in novel wide band gap semiconductors

  • Magnetic Interfaces: Creation and control of new magnetic properties

  • Disordered Materials: Structure and properties of amorphous and glassy materials
  • Thermal Properties: Heat transport in nanoscale materials
