Resume 我包括如下部分: Education; Academic and Social activity; Honor [b]and Awards; Research and Publication. Contact information放在页眉处. 在一页 [b]纸内为 好 [b][b]4. Personal Statement [b]这部分很重要, It’s too important.。如合做得更好,仁者见仁,智者见智,但一定要反应 [b]你的特色character.不可过于浮夸,少用excellent, best等等. 宜多用具体的事例和证据 [b]去让别人感觉到你是比较优秀的.非你莫属的感觉.Concise and substantial [b]information! 可以从现在就构思布局,反复改了不下七八次。有的学校还会让你在PS你回 [b]答 [b]一些问题,灵活把握吧。我的PS主要介绍了自己的研究背景和为什么申请这个学校专业 [b]1)Research experience in the Magnetic Materials; [b]主要强调自己的研究背景,介绍研究内容和体会,甚至不妨别人的评价,无非证明自己怎样怎 [b]样 [b]能作研究拉~~ [b]2)Why do I apply Department of Materials Science and Engineering [b]申请自然有原因的拉,尽量如实说,当然不要忘了包装 [b][b]5. Recommendation Letter [b] 最好早点预约联系,因为到时很多老师不一定在校和学校,找人毕竟很麻烦. [b] 老师自己写自然更好,自己写的话,可以用excellent, one of the best, 经常问问题拉, [b]很有科研潜力,甚至让自己都不可忍受等等呵呵。放到大信封里,塞道信箱, 等候邮递员叔叔 [b]处理吧。平信通常两周到达,不过我的大部分好像一个月才到。有钱当然就快寄吧, 放血. - [b]--------------------------那些日子我们准备飞翔, 寄走了材料,留下了遗憾 [b][b][b][b][b]（4） PS [b][b]Research experience in the Magnetic Materials [b][b]As a joint graduate student, my supervisors are Prof. *** in theory and [b]Prof.*** in experiment. They provide me a diverse and active academic [b]environment in the condensed matter physics, especially magnetic [b]materials. [b]And now I have published three *** papers. The ideas and evaluations of [b]these three papers are brily introduced as following, respectively. [b][b]An intrinsic mechanism of antiferromagnetic domain was presented [1]. The [b]original idea of the long range dipolar interaction, came from my previous [b]failed research in the dipolar liquid crystal. The key point was appraised [b]as a smart idea by **, and this work was also appreciated by ***. [b]Furthermore, as soon as it was published, Prof. *** sent an email for the [b]potential link with the underdoped superconductivity materials. [b][b]A phenomenal theory of exchange bias mechanism was suggested [2]. The idea [b]was derived from my surprise of low Neel temperature about 50K in all the [b]positive exchange bias. And exchange bias is applied in the magnetic [b]record [b]medium. Prof. *** gave a high praise for this paper in the email. [b][b]"Spin crystal" as a theoretical prediction was proposed [3]. This idea was [b]fostered for about two years. Study of periodic medium is interesting. In [b]May 1999 as a junior student, I was impressed by the creative idea [b]of "photon crystal" in the periodic dielectric medium. In December 2000, [b]inspired by the acoustic crystal paper in the science journal, I asked [b]myself a natural question in the mind: What will come out for the spin [b]wave in the periodic system? Also does the gap exist? In April 2001, [b]thinking over the anisotropy in multilayer, I obtained the original idea [b]to propose the "spin crystal". These results could be verified by the [b]future experiments. Besides the major magnetic materials, I researched the [b]stripe phase in superconductivity materials [4], and studied nanomagnetic [b]clusters and "lt-hand" electromagnetic wave materials. [b][b]My particular research interest is the Magnetic Materials I am intrigued [b]by materials, because the diverse and novel properties of materials can [b]be explained by a few basic physics law. The magnetoresistance has the [b]successful applications to information storage. Spin electronics in [b]magnetic system becomes an emerging field. Spin coherence is also [b]potential [b]to perform quantum computation in solid state devices. Also miscellaneous [b]interests are biomaterials and polymer materials. [b][b]My longer-term academic goal is to be a faculty memberSimply for the [b]reason that I enjoy myself while researching. Research provides the [b]excitement to find the questions. Research offers the freedom and [b]joviality to think the questions. Research satisfies my curious mind about [b]the nature. Moreover, research is full of the unknown challenge, which I [b]like as the exploration tour. [b] [b]Why do I apply DMSE in ***?Magnetic materials program support my [b]particular [b]interest. Antiferromagnetic domain [1] is related the magnetic domain [b]investigated by Prof. *** Exchange bias [2].is linked with magnetic [b]materials recording for data storage applications studied by Prof. ***. [b]Periodic medium paper [3] is connected to photonic crystal researched by [b]Prof. *** [b][b]So I decide to apply your famous and top DMSE in ***.
