Overview of Group Research Topics Researchers and Publications

Dr. Su-Huai Wei is a Principal Scientist and Group Manager of the Theoretical Material Science Group in the Materials and Computational Science Center at NREL. He received a B.S. in Physics from Fudan University, Shanghai, China, in 1981 and a Ph.D. in Physics from the College of William and Mary in 1985 (with Prof. Henry Krakauer). He joined NREL in 1985. His current research is focused on developing first-principles electronic structure theory of materials, which includes studying:

  1. Electronic structures and stabilities of ordered and disordered semiconductor and metallic alloys, superlattices, and interfaces
  2. Magnetic properties of semiconductors
  3. Optoelectronic properties of photovoltaic and light emitting materials.
  4. Electronic properties of organic and hybrid semiconductors.
  5. Defect physics in semiconductors and quantum dots.
  6. Hydrogen storage materials.
Dr. Wei has published more than 270 peer-reviewed papers, including more than 65 articles in Physical Review Letters and Physical Review Rapid Communications. His papers have been cited more than 9500 times. Since 1999, he has been a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
