Jian-Bai Xia

Jian-Bai Xia is a professor at the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing. He has many firsts to his credit. Prof. Xia was the first to propose the plane wave expansion method, the tensor model of quantum spheres, the effective-mass theory of (11N)-oriented superlattices, and hole tunneling theory. He developed a systematic method in the framework of the effective-mass theory to study the electronic structures of quantum dots and wires in a magnetic or electric field, especially spin-related properties, besides predicting a series of new phenomena relating to quantum dots, quantum wires, and nanofilms. A recipient of many awards and honors, Prof. Xia has published more than 105 articles, authored or coauthored 2 monographs, and served in important capacities in several universities.
