Phonon and Scattering Group
Li @ University of California-Riverside
Materials Dynamics
We study the phonons/magnons and interactions between themselves and with other excitaions (electron, spin, etc) and nanostructures in materials.
Scattering
We use neutron and synchrotron scattering (both elastic and inelastic) at national facilites to understand materials. We also do Raman spectroscopy.
High Pressure
We use high pressure technique based on diamond anvil cells to understand the dynamics and structure of materials, especially interfacial phenomenons.
Simulation
We use first-principles methods to simulation materials. We also do instrument simulation for the scattering experiments.
