Research summary
AI-generated

Shixiong Zhang works in materials science, with research spanning two-dimensional (atomically thin) materials, magnetic and topological materials, and electrode materials for energy storage such as supercapacitors and batteries. The work combines experimental studies with computational modeling (including density functional theory simulations) to understand how material structure affects magnetic, electronic, and transport properties.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
