Dr. Xuebin Zhu, PhD and Professor of Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He received his PhD degree from Institute of Solid State Physics, CAS in 2005.

Research Interests
To realize the functionality of materials, it is desirable to fabricate thin films. I am interested in the fabrication, growth mechanisms and physical properties of thin films, especially in solution-based routes for thin films. The materials are including superconducting, ferroelectric, optical, magnetic materials.
