Li Haifeng, an assistant professor from the University of Macau’s (UM) Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering (IAPME), received the 2016 Outstanding Youth Paper Award at the Fourth National Conference on Neutron Scattering and Workshop on Applications of National Neutron Facilities, in recognition of his contributions to neutron scattering research.
Professor Li’s research, which revealed the origin of ferroelectricity and the nature of magnetism in triply-ordered chromium-based perovskites, was highly praised by the Special Committee on Neutron Scattering of the Chinese Physical Society, as well as experts and scholars from related fields.
Professor Li is one of two recipients of the award. He holds a PhD in Condensed Matter Physics from the Juelich Center for Neutron Science (JCNS) and the RWTH Aachen University, Germany.
The conference was co-organized by the Special Committee on Neutron Scattering of the Chinese Physical Society, the China Spallation Neutron Source, the China Institute of Atomic Energy and the Research Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry under the China Academy of Engineering Physics.
It was co-hosted by the China Spallation Neutron Source and the Southern University of Science and Technology.
Approximately 200 research scientists from more than 20 universities and research institutes attended the conference to discuss neutron scattering and diffraction, scattering technologies, and related issues. Fifty-six academic reports were presented at the conference.
