China Vitae

Biography

Wu Ziliang, male, Han nationality, is a native of Pujiang, Zhejiang Province. He graduated from Beihai Institute of Technology in 1939 and received a doctorate from University of Pittsburgh.

Wu spent most of his career as a researcher at the Shanghai Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In the early 1960s, he began to study the s-in interactive internal friction peak of transitional elements Mn, Cr, Mo, V, Ti and N in steel. He clarified many disputes and falsehood existing in earlier studies. He proved that only titanium had enough nitrogen fixation capability. He later turned to study oxygen diffusion mechanisms in high temperature superconductor YBCO, acquiring exact oxygen diffusivity and diffusion activation energy.

Among his contributions in the area of magnetron sputtered c tropism film, Wu discovered that the oxygenation speed of film relied on quick oxygen transport process provided by dislocation conduit of vertical c-axis monocrystals. He was elected to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1980.
