Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Josh Sakon, Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, leads a research group focused on materials science, with a particular emphasis on magnetism and electronic properties of layered materials. His recent publications investigate the understanding and tuning of magnetism in layered Ising-type antiferromagnets like FePSe3, and the evolution of magnetism in the magnetic topological semimetal NdSb<sub>x</sub>Te<sub>2-x+δ</sub>. Sakon also explores field-induced spin polarization in substituted layered antiferromagnets such as NiPS3 and medium-entropy engineering of magnetism in Cu<sub>x</sub>Ni<sub>2(1-x)</sub>Cr<sub>x</sub>P<sub>2</sub>S<sub>6</sub>. His work extends to quantum oscillation studies of nodal line semimetals like Ni3In2S2-Se.
Beyond magnetism, Sakon's research interests include the development of cellulose nanocrystal-based materials. Publications in this area cover covalent crosslinking for multifunctional nanostructured hydrogels with tunable properties, as well as the impact of wood feedstock variability on the physicochemical properties of cellulose nanocrystals. He also studies the crystal growth and electronic properties of materials such as LaSbSe.
Sakon's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 5, with 66 citations across 8 publications. He has served as PI on a $403,423 NIH/National Institute of General Medical Sciences grant to understand the mechanisms of antibiotic inhibition of ribosomal subunit joining. Key collaborators include Rabindra Basnet (University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff), and University of Arkansas at Fayetteville colleagues Dinesh Upreti, Md Rafique Un Nabi, and Gokul Acharya.
