Dr. Jiechao Jiang is a Professor of Research at the Materials Science and Engineering Department and the Facility Manager of the UTA Characterization Center for Materials and Biology. Professor Jiang received his undergraduate degree in Metal Physics from Northeast University, China and his Ph.D in Materials Physics from the University of Science and Technology Beijing and the Chinese Academy of Science. Dr. Jiang held appointment at Stockholm University (Sweden), University of Marburg (Germany), University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) and Louisiana State University. Dr. Jiang has over thirty year’s extensive expertise in the field of electron microscopy and microanalysis. His major research contributions are in the areas of microstructure and atomic structure studies of crystals, defects, interfaces of octagonal quasicrystals, incommensurate minerals, nanomaterials, multifunctional thin films of semiconductors, perovskite oxides, and other engineered hard coatings. Dr. Jiang and his collaborators were the first to achieve self-assembling of perovskite-type oxides and metal/ceramic nanocomposite thin films with high aspect ratio. Dr. Jiang has more than 200 publications (>4300 research citations, H=36)) on the advance materials including semiconductor and ceramic oxide thin films, surface modified materials and coatings, nanostructured materials, minerals and quasicrystals. His research program has been supported by NSF.
Dr. Jiang’s expertise areas are analytical TEM, high-resolution TEM, Scanning TEM, in-situ TEM, X-ray and electron crystallography, image processing and simulation, SEM, XPS/Auger and DSC. His research areas include microstructures and defects of advanced materials and their processing-microstructure-property relationship, nucleation, growth mechanisms, interface structures and surface morphologies, structural modeling and simulation of epitaxial thin films.His recent work focuses on self-assembled epitaxial oxide nanorod thin films and their interface structures. His research has been funded from NSF.

This course is composed of two components: lecture and laboratory for several materials characterization techniques. The lecture part includes the instruction of basic principles and theories behind AFM, Raman, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TEM and spectroscopic techniques. Students in the class are divided into small groups for the laboratory part (4 – 5 people per group) so that students can gain hand-on experiences on various characterization techniques by operating associated equipment.
