Profile and Research

Bo Lü received his M.Sc. degree in Applied Physics from Linköping University in 2011. In the framework of his M.Sc. thesis he worked on the synthesis of new high-k materials using a highly ionzed deposition technique named high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS). During the first half of 2012 he worked as research engineer at the Plasma and Coatings Physics division being responsible for a number of industrial projects related to the development of protective and photocatalytic coatings. Since August 2012 he is Ph.D. student at the same division. The goal of his research is to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms that govern nucleation of films synthesized by time-dependent higly ionized processes (e.g. HiPIMS). To this purpose he has been developing and implementing an accelerated kinetic Monte-Carlo code (a-KMC) that simulates the conditions encountered during growth of metallic films on insulating substrates using the above described processes. The KCM simulations are complemented with ab initio and classical molecular dynamics simulations of the film growth.
