Present situation of material science specialty in Nanjing University

The material science major of Nanjing University originated from the intersection of physics and chemistry. 65438-0990 The Institute of Materials Science was established on the basis of the State Key Laboratory of Solid Microstructure Physics and the State Key Laboratory of Coordination Chemistry of Nanjing University. Professor Min Naiben (Physics) and Professor Yang (Chemistry) are deputy directors. 1993 The Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Nanjing University was established, with Academician Min Naiben as the first department head, Professor (Physics) and Professor Sun (Chemistry) as the deputy department heads.

At the beginning of the establishment of the discipline, due to the urgent demand for high-tech information functional materials and devices in the rapidly developing information industry (mainly microelectronics and optoelectronics industries), combined with the advantages of our school in two basic disciplines of physics and chemistry and the long-term accumulation in functional materials research, the development direction of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering is clearly positioned as functional materials, especially information functional materials. The academic direction of developing photoelectric functional materials and devices is determined by the combination of structural properties of materials, fine synthetic chemistry and modern photoelectric technology, and the trinity of material synthesis and preparation, structural properties and device application. The laboratories of crystal growth, organometallic chemical vapor deposition, pulsed laser deposition and cluster thin film materials were established. It has undertaken two projects of the National High-tech Research and Development Program (863), and successfully developed the milliwatt miniature fully-cured blue laser frequency multiplier and ultra-high frequency acoustic transducer with the working frequency of 1GHz by using the ferroelectric superlattice LiNbO3 _ 3 crystal at the earliest time in the world. This achievement was rated as "innovative research with international advanced level" by the "863" expert Committee during the Eighth Five-Year Plan period.
