General Guidance of the research directions for potential PhD students
Functional Materials research is a multidisciplinary area. We welcome the students, who have different background knowledge and skills (Materials chemistry, Applied Physics, Computational chemistry and physics of Solids, Materials Science and Engineering) with strong innovative and creative capabilities, to join us and to work on one of the following potential fields:
Fundamental Research:
- Materials chemistry: building an interaction between the local/average structure and property of functional materials at the different length scales via X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, neutron diffraction/scattering, guiding design and development of new functional materials
- Defect chemistry and computational chemistry: novel defect cluster design for the development of new functional materials, enriching defect chemistry theory in solids and guiding novel materials design.
- Electrochemistry: Development of novel polar functional materials for use in renewable and green environment.

4, Computational chemistry (co-supervised): this project provides an absolutely fantastic opportunity for the student who is very keen in using computational chemistry to solve experimental problem. This will be a joint co-supervised project (Principle supervisor in computational chemistry- Dr Terry Frankcombe, ADFA, UNSW and co-supervisor in materials chemistry- Prof Yun Liu, RSC, ANU). The student will be registered at ADFA, UNSW with an instantly available PhD scholarship to work in a very friendly and collaborative environment.
Suitable students: Theoretical and computational chemistry/physics, Physics, Applied Mathematics, and Materials Chemistry
5, Fabrication and characterisation of 2D and 3D structured functional thin films

Defect analysis, local/average structure and properties/functions of the resultant materials will be investigation at different lengths scale to build a correlation between chemical composition, structure and properties/functions. Some research will expand to the fabrication of devices for practical application.
Suitable students: Materials Chemistry, physical chemistry Applied/Physics, Materials Science and Engineering, Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology
7, Preparation, structure and property of polar functional materials
This research direction will cover the dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric and mutiferroic materials. The core research strategy is to figure out the strong correlation between the defect/local structure and polarisation-related properties. The X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction and in situ (with external force, i.e. electric field and pressure) neutron diffraction as well as neutron Inelastic and quasielastic scattering will be the main tools to investigate local structure, phase transition and structured evolution as well as dynamic phonon behaviour. Various spectral analyses and property characterisations at different-lengths scale will be also investigated to build a real structure –property relation of the complicated, polar functional materials
Suitable students: Materials Chemistry and Applied/Physics, Materials Science, and Functional material
