The Magnetic Materials & Thin Films Laboratory was established in September 2009. Dr. Sun's expertise spans across multiple disciplines, including Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, and Magnetics. He integrates these fields his primary area of focus: "Advanced Magnetic Material Research and Applications."
The research conducted in this laboratory encompasses various topics, including magnetic materials and magnetic recording, optical thin films and semiconductor processes, nano-biotechnology, tissue reconstruction, phase transformations, magnetic properties, biocompatibility, environmentally friendly materials, microstructures, and thin film technologies. The samples primarily consist of nanoscale thin films and powders, typically smaller than 100 nm in size.
Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments, including High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), an ion miller (PIPS), a High-Resolution X-ray Diffractometer (HRXRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM), Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM), Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA), Tube Vacuum Furnace Annealing, Optical Microscopy, Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD), 3 Guns high-vacuum sputtering system, 4 Guns high-vacuum sputtering system, 8 Guns ultrahigh-vacuum sputtering system, and a Degaussing system.
Students who join our team are expected to have a solid understanding of magnetism and physics, as well as proficiency in operating HRTEM, HRXRD, AFM, and TEM sample preparation techniques. Each student is required to develop strong material analysis skills and apply them to their individual research projects within the laboratory. We aim to nurture individuals with high levels of humility, responsibility, and independence, all for the betterment of humanity. Professor Sun oversees the training and study programs for every student.
