Ultra-fast Dynamics of Low-dimensional Carbon Nanostructures

Advisor(s):

Prof. Teng Li

Research Description

Over the last decades, carbon nanotechnology has been evolved into a truly interdisciplinary field, encompassing chemistry, physics, materials science, and mechanics. The research excitement was largely driven by the unique properties and diverse applications of low-dimensional carbon nanomaterials (e.g., buckyballs, nanodiamonds, carbon nanotubes, and graphene). The selected candidate will work on the ultra-fast dynamics of nanostructures based on low-dimensional carbon nanomaterials, via multi-scale modeling and simulation. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: the self-assembly of low-dimensional carbon nanostructures for ultra-fast dynamics; the characteristic dynamic modes and their interactions of low-dimensional carbon nanostructures; possible applications toward GHz nanoscale electromechanical devices.
