The Institute of Materials Physics of School of Materials Science and Engineering, Zhejiang University was established in 1999. It was formed by the integration of the original electronic information materials research laboratory, the nanomaterials research laboratory and the MSE central laboratory. There are 5 professors (including 2 professors of Cheung Kong Scholar Program), 9 associate professors and 1 engineer. It is a new and energetic research institute with about 15 doctoral and master students enrolled each year.
The Institute is based on the material sciences, and its main research areas include information functional ceramics, nanomaterials, amorphous metal materials, and environmental materials. It focuses on multi-ferrous materials, microwave dielectric ceramics, energy storage dielectric ceramics, bulk amorphous metal materials, low-dimensional materials, carbon nanotubes and their applications, hard films, denitrification/de-dioxin materials, etc. The institute has undertaken more than 50 national-level scientific research projects, including 2 National Outstanding Youth Science Funds, 5 "973" Major Basic Research Projects, 1 National Natural Science Foundation Major Project, and 4 National Natural Science Foundation Key Projects since its establishment, as well as 2 national 863 plan projects, 1 UN project, and more than 40 projects of the National Natural Science Foundation. In the past 10 years, the teachers of the institute have served in international academic organizations for 3 times. More than 500 papers have been published in internationally renowned journals such as Science, Nature Communication, Phys. Rev. Lett., Adv. Funct. Mater., Phys. Rev. B, Appl. Phys. Lett., J. Am. Ceram. Soc. . The teachers have given more than 60 invited lectures at international academic conferences, organized 3 international academic conferences, participated in the organizing of 16 international academic meetings, and won 1 famous international academic award.
