معرفی
Tianbao Xie is a Professor at Linfield University, maintaining an active research profile in physical sciences with an office in Graf Hall 230. He is accessible via email at txie@linfield.edu and telephone at 503-883-2572, reflecting his ongoing institutional affiliation and academic engagement.
His educational foundation includes:
- Bachelor of Science from Beijing University (1970)
- Master of Science from the University of Oklahoma (1984)
- Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oklahoma (1989)
Professor Xie's research centers on Materials Science with specialized focus in Applied Physics and Engineering Physics. He has pioneered investigations into field emission phenomena of transition metal carbides—particularly zirconium carbide (ZrC) and hafnium carbide (HfC)—for vacuum microelectronics applications. His work bridges fundamental material properties with engineering solutions for high-current cathode systems, recently expanding into thermal conductivity mechanisms in elemental metals and magnetic coupling phenomena. This trajectory demonstrates sustained innovation from vacuum electronics to contemporary condensed matter challenges.
Publication analysis reveals concentrated output from 1989-2003 on carbide-based field emitters, followed by renewed activity with 2019-2020 Murdock Conference presentations. The thematic thread connecting his work is the optimization of material interfaces for electron emission and thermal transport, with consistent methodology involving thin-film deposition, emitter characterization, and device integration for vacuum microelectronics.
