SYNOPSIS
Using the combined tools of experiment and theory, the goal of this program is to develop advanced metallic materials and nanostructures with superior physical, mechanical, and/or chemical properties, and expand predictive capabilities for materials design, synthesis, and structure-composition-property relationships. The program seeks to advance fundamental and transformative research on metallic materials and nanostructures, study the relationships between atomic, nano-, meso-, or micro-structures and, their manifested physical, mechanical, and/or chemical properties.
The broad intellectual scope of this program covers the development of advanced structural, high-temperature, hybrid and multifunctional metallic materials; phase transitions, equilibrium and non-equilibrium structures, defects, and phenomena; thermodynamics, kinetics, diffusion, and cooperative behavior across length scales leading to fundamental insights into material properties, nano- and micro-structure evolution; tailored surfaces and interfaces; oxidation; metal-based transducer materials utilizing novel principles for energy conversion; magnetic structures and their interaction with electron transport; metallic clusters and nanoparticles, linear chains and nanowires, low-dimensional structures that exhibit new behavior, quantized electronic, magnetic, or thermal effects, and enhanced physical, mechanical, and chemical properties.
