Scientific Research

Research interests: The initiation and evolution of material plasticity carrier, the design, preparation and application of high quality magnesium based new materials. In recent years, research interests have focused on the structure and properties of micro-nano scale materials by exploring them. We strive to provide systematic knowledge support and methodology guidance for the design, preparation and application of macroscopic high performance structural materials, especially magnesium based new materials.

After returning to China, Shan successively established three international research centers, namely "Micro and Nano Scale Material Behavior Research Center", "Hysitron China Application Research Center" and "Xi 'an Jiaotong University-Hitachi Research Center", and one provincial center, namely "Shaanxi Magnesium Based New Materials Engineering Center". Up to now, Shan has published 130 papers in top international journals, including "Nature" and "Science" with 8,481 SCI citations, and a single SCI citations up to 807 times. Related research achievements won the second prize of National Natural Science Award, the first prize of Shaanxi Natural Science Award, the first prize of Shaanxi Science and Technology Award, the Special Prize of Scientific and Technological Research Outstanding Achievement Award of Shaanxi University, the Process Innovation Award of International Magnesium Association, the Best Paper Award of Basic Research of Light Metal Branch of American TMS Society, China's 100 Most Influential International Academic papers, and the top Ten of Chinese universities Big scientific and technological progress, etc. Organized and co-organized about 35 international academic seminars; More than 250 reports were made or signed, more than half of which were invited reports. In 2018, Shan was invited to give a conference report at the 19th International Congress of Microscopy (every four years), which is the only Chinese scholar (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) to give a conference report in this series of conferences so far. The teachers team led by him was selected as the first Huang Danian teachers team in national universities.
