Research History

Prof. Dmitri V. Golberg has a wide background and strong command in the synthesis, structural analysis, and physical property measurements of diverse inorganic nanotubes, nanowires, graphene-like nanosheets, nanoribbons and nanobelts. In 1995 he became one of the first researchers in the world to launch full-time studies on prospective boron nitride nanotubes. He became a world-recognized expert in this field and published more than 200 papers solely on the BN nanotube topic. He has also deeply studied shape memory alloys while working as a visiting researcher at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, and single crystals of intermetallic compounds while being a guest scientist at the Max-Planck-Institute fuer Eisenforschung in Duesseldorf, Germany, and the National Institute for Metals, Tsukuba. Such joined and unprecedented experience in nanotubes and metallic alloys allows him to launch a new and promising interesting field of nanoscale studies: physics, chemistry and functional properties of inorganic nanotubes filled, joined and/or coated with metals. Since recently he has become fully engaged in the electromechanical and optical property measurements of individual nanotubes, nanowires and graphenes inside a transmission electron microscope for various green energy-related applications. One of the most significant portions of his nanotechnology works is fabricating prototype photodetectors, fuel and solar cells, Li- and Na-ion batteries, hydrogen accumulators and field emitters made of diverse nanomaterials synthesized in his Laboratory.

Prof. Golberg is author or co-author of more than 730 original papers in peer-reviewed International journals. He registered more than 120 Japanese and International patents. He has also authored numerous book chapters and delivered more than 150 invited, keynote and plenary lectures at many International Scientific Forums worldwide. Essential Science Indicators on the Web of Science (http://esi.isiknowledge.com/home.cgi) reveal that Golberg is ranked within top most-cited 500 materials scientists, overall, in the world. His works have been cited more than 54,000 times and Hirsh factor of his publications is 123 (based on Scopus, http://www.scopus.com).
