Description:My research is concerned with the preparation, microstructure and mechanical properties of nanometallic materials, which includes controllable fabrication of metallic nanoparticles, microstructure evolution of metallic films, size effects on the mechanical behavior of metallic films, and thermodynamic and molecular dynamics models for the size-dependent behaviors of metallic nanowires, nanorods, and nanoparticles. For more details, see the webpage of my research group (http://mat.nju.edu.cn/lab/nami.htm).
