  • Biography

    Dr. Jincheng Du is a Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of University of North Texas, Denton, Texas. Dr. Du received his Ph.D. in Ceramics from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 2004. He subsequently worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and later as a research associate at University of Virginia. He joined the MSE Department of UNT as a faculty member in 2007 and served as the Graduate Advisor and later Associate Department Chair for Graduate Program (2012-2019). Dr. Du’s research expertise lies in atomistic computer simulations of glass, ceramics, and nanostructured materials. He develops empirical potentials and computational tools to study glass, amorphous and nanostructured materials to understand their structure, surfaces, and interfaces.

  • Research
    Research Interests

    In FGM2L, we integrate atomistic computer simulations and materials characterization to investigate complex structures of materials, structural origin of properties with a focus on glass and glass-ceramic materials for energy, biomedicine, microelectronics, and environmental applications. Students are trained with both simulation and experimental skills to work on challenging scientific and engineering problems on federally or industrially funded projects. We welcome motivated students at all levels to perform high impact materials researches. The main research areas are summarized below:

     

    Atomistic computer simulations of material behaviors

    • Potential development for atomistic simulations of glass and ceramics Interatomic potentials are critical to atomistic simulations of materials. Our group develop interatomic potentials for silicate, borosilicate, and phosphosilicate glasses, as well as reactive potentials to study glass-water interactions, through empirical fitting and QM calculations.

    • Glass structure and structure-property relations Glass materials have many unique properties such as optical, dielectric, mechanical and others but the structure of glass lacks long range order hence defies any single experimental characterizations. We utilize both classical and ab initio based materials simulations to study the complex glass structures and structure-property relations of glass materials.

    • Simulations of glass corrosion and glass-environment interactions

    Glass corrosion and glass–environment interactions play an important role from glass processing, packaging, to glasses for biomedical and nuclear waste disposal applications. MD simulations with reactive potentials and MC simulations were used to understand the corrosion mechanisms in glass materials.

    Functional glasses and glass-ceramic materials

    • Glass for nuclear waste disposal Vitrification is a widely accepted method to immobilize nuclear waste to provide clean energies and ensure safe environment. We investigate borosilicate, aluminosilicate and other glasses for waste applications by using simulations and experiments. Particularly, we try to understand the structures of these glasses and how they interact with the environment (or the corrosion behaviors).
