Materials Sciences and Technology Research Centre

AIMS


Our long term aim was, and still is, the development at The Chinese University of Hong Kong of a Centre of Excellence in Materials Research for the region of Hong Kong and Southern China. This excellence will be manifested in the form of local recognition in the Hong Kong area and in international recognition through exchanges and collaboration.

Research interests
RESEARCH INTERESTS
The research interests of the members of the MSTRC cover a wide range of materials:

Elemental

Compound Semiconductors

Exotic Ceramics

Metal Alloys

Nanomaterials

Organic Semiconductors

Polymers

Biomaterials

Work is under way on the fundamental properties and on processing, as bulk or as thin films, of single crystals, hetero-epitaxial layers, micro/nano-crystalline materials, amorphous and porous semiconductors. A particular emphasis is the analysis of properties by various forms of spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and ion beam analysis.

As part of a centrally funded Inter-institutional Microelectronics Consortium the CUHK group has been designated a centre of excellence in electronic materials. This provided the basic funding for the establishment of a 2 MeV tandem accelerator which has been operational since 1996, which is the sole one in this kind in South China. Very recently, MSTRC members have secured several special equipment grants supported by University Grants Committee (UGC), one of the major funding agencies in Hong Kong.

Projects under the envelope of the MSTRC involve interdisciplinary collaboration among members of the departments involved.

About Us

The Materials Science and Technology Research Centre (MSTRC) was formed as part of The Chinese University of Hong Kong Institute of Science and Technology. Its prime aim is to encourage research in the interdisciplinary subject of materials science and technology. The MSTRC officially came into being when announced at the Senate Meeting on the 25th of March 1992. It is comprised of academic staff with a research interest in materials in the departments of Chemistry, Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics.Prof. Ian H. Wilson of Electronic Engineering was founding Director of the Centre. The current Director is Jian-Bin Xu, Professor in Electronic Engineering Department.

Achievements


Since the inception of MSTRC, members have been dedicated to securing research funding via various sources, conducting top-notch research projects, and pursuing academic excellence, under an interdisciplinary environment with their expertise, knowledge, synergy, and reputation. Members have demonstrated their academic achievements through various awards. MSTRC has one Member of Chinese Academy of Sciences, two recipients of National Natural Science Award (Class 2), three Croucher Senior Research Fellows, two recipient of NSFC Outstanding Young Investigator Award, three recipients of CUHK Research Excellence Award, numerous Best Paper Awards, etc.

In the academic development plan for the 1995-98 triennium published in the summer of 1993 the entry for the MTRC reads as follows: The Material Technology Research Centre, again recently formed, draws expertise from Physics and Electronic Engineering, and will co-ordinate research in materials technology (initially with a focus on silicon materials, ceramics, surface science, thin films and microstructures), and will also act as a central facility of analytical equipment. It is expected that additional analytical equipment will be acquired in both the 92-95 and the 95-98 triennia. The Centre will act as the focus for external links.

We have been successful in following this blueprint and are dedicated to expanding our efforts in the future. As will be seen below there has been a very satisfactory level of interdepartmental and inter institutional collaboration in research projects and the MTRC has contributed to encouraging the considerable amount of materials related research at CUHK.
