Research History

Dmitri Golberg has a wide background and strong command in the synthesis, electron microscopy, and physical property measurements of BN and other inorganic nanotubes and related nanomaterials. In 1995 he became one of first world scientists to launch a full scale research on BN nanotubes. Since then he became a world-recognized expert in this field and published more than 100 papers solely on this topic. He has also deeply studied shape memory alloys while working as a visiting researcher at the University of Tsukuba, and single crystals of intermetallic compounds while being a guest scientist at the Max-Planck-Institute fuer Eisenforschung, and the National Institute for Metals, Tsukuba. Such joined unprecedented experience in nanotubes and metallic alloys allows him to initiate a new and promising research field: physics, chemistry and functional properties of inorganic nanotubes filled and/or joined with metals. Over the last few years he became fully engaged in the electrical, mechanical, thermal and optical property measurements of individual nanotubes, nanowires and graphene-like nanostructures in a transmission electron microscope. Golberg is author or co-author of more than 480 original papers in peer-reviewed International journals and over 100 patents. He has also authored numerous book chapters. In 2005 Golberg was awarded the 16th Tsukuba Prize for his studies of inorganic nanotubes and nanothermometers. In 2012, he became a recipient of the Thomson Reuters Research Front Award for his outstanding contributions to emerging global research fronts. At present, Golberg is listed among top-100 most-cited world materials scientists on the Web of Science. His works have been cited more than 13000 times and H-factor of his publications is 62.
