Biography
Prof. Han got his B.S. degree in 1986, master degree in 1989 and doctoral degree in 1997 on condensed matter physics. In 1989, he started working in the research institute for material science, which was the former organization of material science and engineering department (MSE) of Nanjing University. After MSE was established, Dr. Han became a lecturer, associate professor, professor and then the doctoral supervisor. He was a STA fellow in National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan in 1997-1999, and then appointed as a senior visiting scholar to AIST under the “Revitalization”program in 2001. In 2002, he worked as a visiting scholar in the department of Physics and the research institute of material science of Freiburg University in Germany.
Research Interest
Dr. Han’s research mainly covers the physical properties of atomic clusters and their applications in nanotechnology, especially for the multi-fabrication of nanostructures through the well-controlled cluster beam deposition. He is mainly interested in the growth behavior of materials in nanoscale, the controllable assembly of complex nanostructures and their specific properties in optics, electronics and thermophysics as well as their applications in functional devices. The research is aiming to provide a convenient, high-efficient and low-cost way to fabricate MEMS/NEMS for its advantaged compatibility with industrial manufacturing and benefits of in-situ structural detection with multi-nanotechniques. He is a pioneer in the design of cluster beam instruments in China. Since 1990, Dr. Han has thoroughly investigated three types of cluster sources, the thermal evaporation cluster source, the pulsed laser ablation (PLA) cluster source and the magnetron plasma aggregation cluster source. He has ever been instructed by the famous scientist Prof. Haberland, who is also the inventor of the magnetron plasma aggregation cluster source. Dr. Han has designed several generations of cluster sources and was authorized a few of patents including a Japanese patent. A lot of works on the morphologies, mechanisms and physical properties of the cluster assemblies have been carried out.
