Materials Sciences and Engineering (MSE) Division
Research is supported to understand, design, and control materials properties and function. These goals are accomplished through studies of the relationship of materials structures to their electrical, optical, magnetic, surface reactivity, and mechanical properties and of the way in which materials respond to external forces such as stress, chemical and electrochemical environments, radiation, and the proximity of materials to surfaces and interfaces.
For more information about these research areas, please contact the Team Lead, Dr. Jim Horwitz.
