Electronic Structure Crystallography and Functional Motifs of Materials (eBook)

Prof. Guo-Cong Guo is Director of the State Key Lab of Structural Chemistry at Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter (FJIRSM), Chinese Academy of Sciences, Fuzhou, P. R. China. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Chinese University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Professor Thomas Chung Wai Mak in 1999. His main research interests include structural chemistry and functional materials (photochromic, nonlinear optical, and nano-catalytic materials). Ass. Prof. Xiao-Ming Jiang received his Ph.D. in 2011 from the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter with a major in inorganic chemistry, the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Then he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the School of Physics at Nanjing University and the School of Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich (Germany) in sequence. In 2016, he joined FJIRSM and focused his research interests on the experimental electronic structure study of functional materials covering nonlinear optical, magnetic, and ferroelectric materials and so on.
