Zixin Xiong's work uses molecular dynamics simulations and experimental characterization to study how materials behave and deform at the atomic scale, spanning topics like two-dimensional materials (such as MoS2 thin films and graphene), thermal transport in engineered materials, and the chemistry of industrial materials like coke and blast furnace slag. This research combines computational modeling (ReaxFF simulations) with material characterization techniques to understand structural defects, mechanical properties, and thermal behavior across diverse material systems relevant to both fundamental science and industrial processes like steelmaking.
