Biography
Xianran Xing is Changjiang professor at University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB), and Fellow of the 浪花直播. He received his BS degree in chemistry from Anqing Teachers College (1988), and his Ph.D from Department of Physical 浪花直播 USTB (1994).
His research interests focus on the solid state chemistry, involving syntheses strategy, crystal structure and chemical design for functional materials. The systematic work is done to determine the average structures and local structures of solids.
He leads a group to work on the negative thermal expansion (NTE) in perovskite compounds and related materials, which could be used to tailor thermal expansion coefficients and physical properties. The NTE mechanism is being understood by proposed 鈥渟pontaneous volume ferroelectrostriction鈥�, which is a new concept, but very common phenomena in ferroelectrics.
