At NREL Since: 
2011

Dr. Deng received his Ph.D. degree in physics from the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, in 2010. Hui-Xiong joined the Computational Materials Science Team at NREL in 2011. His primary interest is now focused on using the first-principles simulations to understand the electronic properties of semiconductors, transparent conducting oxides, and nanostructures.

Research Interests 

  • Electronic structures of semiconductors and transparent conducting oxides
  • Magnetic properties of semiconductors
  • Electronic structures and doping properties of nano materials
  • Simulation of nano-sized semiconductor devices
