Materials Characterization

XPS

The Materials Characterization Core facility is located in Room 006 of 245 Beacon Street on the main campus of Boston College. The facility supports multiple characterization needs, including surface analysis, optical analysis, thermal analysis, structure/phase analysis, mechanical analysis, absorption analysis, and so on.  As a new core facility, we are also expecting to further develop the functions according to the users' needs.

Jing Jin, Ph.D.
Director

Dr. Jing Jin is a materials scientist who is primarily focused on magnetic nano-materials systems (1D & 2D). She initially joined Boston College as the Assistant Director of Magnetic Resonance Center after completing her Ph.D. from the Institute of Materials Science at the University of Connecticut in May 2017 in particular to oversee EPR-related projects. Before that, Jing obtained her B.S. degree in Applied Physics as well as an M.Eng. degree in Material Physics and Chemistry from Tianjin University in China, and M.S. degree in Physics from Clark University in the US. She is currently working towards her M.B.A from the Carroll School of Management at BC, and has recently been appointed the director of the new BC Materials Characterization Core.


Dr. Jin has intensive hands-on experience with many different characterization techniques, including EPR & NMR, as well as XPS, XRD, AFM, FTIR, Raman, surface absorption. She has led/collaborated on work characterizing the properties of many different systems encompassing organic and inorganic materials, polymers, and biomolecules.
