The following is the schedule. The location of the wrokshop: Room 101, S...

Hydrogen is not only widely present in the energy and petrochemical industries as hydrogen gas and hydrogen sulfide, but also ubiquitous on the earth's surface in the form of liquid water and water vapor. Due to the extremely small atomic radius of hydrogen, it is easy to enter the interior of the material, resulting in reduced plasticity and delayed cracking, referred to as hydrogen embrittlem...

High (and medium) entropy alloys have emerged as potentially suitable structural materials for nuclear applications, particularly as they appear to show promising irradiation resistance. Recent studies have provided evidence of the presence of local chemical order (LCO) as a salient feature of these complex concentrated solid-solution alloys. However, the influence of such LCO on their irradiat...

Lithium is composed of two stable isotopes (Li-6 and Li-7) with only one neutron difference. Li-6 is a tritium breeding agent in nuclear fusion reactions, and Li-7 can be used as a pH controller in pressurized water reactors. On this account, it is highly necessary to separate lithium isotopes before further use in nuclear reactors. Lithium isotopes share highly similar physical and chemical pr...

The annual “AACYF Top 30 under 30” list, which has attracted much attention from all walks of life, especially the new generation of Chinese, overseas students and “returnees”, has gone through a 3-month selection process, to be revealed by the All America Chinese Youth Federation (AACYF), LAPOST, Chinese American Institute for Public Diplomacy in Los Angeles on March 19, 2023 in Los Angele...

    Metastability-engineering, e.g., transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP), can enhance the ductility of alloys, however it often comes at the expense of relatively low yield strength, which limits the further engineering application of such alloys. As a matter of fact, there are two classic strategies to strengthen metastable alloys. The first is to tailor the deformation mechanisms transfo...

The design of complex fluids and soft matter structures is a present challenge in supramolecular and polymer chemistry as well as in nano-science and touches the question of the development of biological relevant structures from aqueous fluids. Bicontinuous networks are widely found at different length scales and provide promising applications in photonics and electronics, metamaterials, super...

1. ABOUT XJTU:Xi'an Jiaotong University (XJTU) is a key university under the direct administration of the Ministry of Education of China and is one of the most prestigious universities in China. The predecessor of XJTU was Nanyang College founded in 1896 at Shanghai. XJTU was supported by the Central Government at the seventh and eighth five-year plan, as well as Chinese “Proiect 211” and “P...
