Dr. Shahadat Hossain Senior Scientist

Dr. Shahadat Hossain has completed his Ph.D. under the MEXT scholarship at the Surface Science Laboratory of Kyushu University, Japan in 2022. He is actively involved in exploring new surface structures formed by the adsorption of materials on metal substrates in an ultra-high vacuum system. His main focus is on investigating the synthesis of boron structures and/or borophene on different planes of refractory metal surfaces like W and Mo. The main method he uses to deposit the adsorbate is molecular beam epitaxy. After successful synthesis and optimization of the desired material, the structural and electronic characterization is performed by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Currently, Dr. Hossain is working as a senior scientist at the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) where he is involved in research and development (R&D) activities of BAEC.
