　　地　点：清水河校区五号科研楼307会议室

　　内容简介：

　　Modern engineering applications desire materials with significantly improved properties including superior mechanical, chemical and physical properties, enhanced adhesion and surface properties, and superior electronic properties. For example, body armor for soldiers requires lightweight, high strength and high ductility for the materials. First principles based atomistic modeling approaches offer unique opportunities to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms of materials and processes at relevant service conditions, which are essential to designing lighter, stronger, more ductile and more environmental friendly materials. In this talk, we will use following examples to illustrate how to design materials with improved properties by applying first principles based atomistic simulations: (1) Design ductile superhard ceramics; (2) Design mechanical stable thermoelectric materials using nano-scale twins; (3) Improve the catalytic efficiency of Fe in Haber–Bosch process.

　　主讲人简介：

　　Qi An is an assistant professor in Chemical & Materials Engineering Department at University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). He joined UNR in July 2016.
