Novel Properties of Single Layers of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides MX2

报告人简介：After receiving a B.S. in physics from the National Taiwan University in 1971, Professor Chiang received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1978. He joined the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois in 1980 after working as a postdoctoral fellow at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. His honors and awards include IBM Faculty Development Award (1984-85), NSF Presidential Young Investigator Award (1984-89), Xerox Award for Faculty Research (1985), APS Fellow (1986), APS Davisson-Germer Prize (2015), Academician, Academia Sinica, Taiwan (2016).  Research direction: He has done seminal research on the electronic properties, lattice structure, and dynamic behavior of surfaces, interfaces, and ultrathin films. Professor Chiang did pioneering work on the application of angle-resolved and core-level photoemission to surface, thin film, and superlattice research.
