General Reseach Interests
Fundamental aspects of structural phase transformations in solids and solid-solid interfaces. Structure-property relationships in solids. Deformation behavior and fracture mechanisms in solids. Electron microscopy investigation of the structure and distribution of defects such as inclusions, grain boundaries, and dislocations. Characterization of the atomic structure of interfaces by conventional, diffraction and high-resolution phase contrast (HREM) and high angle annular dark field (HAADF) transmission electron microscopy in tandem with computer image simulation. Alloy design for structural applications. Thin films for MEMS and NEMS applications. Nanostructured materials.
 
 
 
 
 
Below: Al3(ScLi)/Al3Li core/shell nanostructure in aluminum matrix: a) Monodisperse distribution obtained by exploring thermodynamics and kinetics parameters; b) HREM image of individual particle; c) Li concentration map extracted from EFTEM spectrum image; d) Exit wave reconstructed image showing clearly Li and Al atoms in the Al3Li shell (inset: simulated image).
