Biography

Dr. Aijie Mao is a associate researcher in institute of atomic and molecular physics of Sichuan University. She received his PhD in Atomic and Molecular Physics from Sichuan University (China) in June 2009. Then, she entered the  physics department of University of Arkansas as a long-term visiting scholar in 2012.  Her main research area lies in  studying the physical behaviors of various materials, most of which are ferroic materials and Mg-based alloys. And about 40 papers have been published in scientific journals including Phys Rev Lett、Phys Rev B、Chem Phys Lett、J Phys Chem A、 Mol Phys and other scientific journals, etc.

Research Areas

1.The calculation and simulation of the related properties of ferroelectric materials,  mainly based on first principles calculations to design novel materials and obtain novel phase transitions by means of strain or pressure.  

2.First principle calculation of mechanical properites of magnesium-based alloys
