Zhong Lin Wang
Zhong Lin Wang (also Zhong Wang or Zhong L. Wang ) is a physicist in the field of nanotechnology .
Life
Wang received the Ph.D. in Physics from Arizona State University in 1987. From 1987 to 1988 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and from 1988 to 1989 he received a research fellowship from the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge in England. He then worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory from 1989 to 1993 and at the National Institute of Standards and Technology from 1993 to 1995 . Since 1995 he has been at the Center for Nanostructure Characterization (CNC) at Georgia Tech , of which he is now director.
Wang is among the top five most cited authors in the field of nanotechnology. He is the author and co-author of four scientific references and textbooks, published over 640 peer reviewed journal articles . He owns 28 patents. His publications have been cited more than 36,000 times. Thomson Reuters has been one of the favorites for a Nobel Prize in Physics since 2015 .
He is known for research on nanowires (and nano-belts , nano belts) and invented a method of in situ measurement of the mechanical and electrical properties of nanowires under the electron microscope . He is a leader in the development of zinc oxide nanostructures, in particular nanogenerators such as the Vertical nanowire Integrated Nanogenerator (VING), which he developed in 2006.
