Research Thrusts

Interfaces within materials. This research thrust will focus on the development and characterization of interfaces and heterogeneities within materials. The research falls into the following areas:

Grain-boundary engineering for weldable superalloys
(Chaturvedi)

Characterization of light-lithophile elements in rock-forming minerals
(Hawthorne)

Study of interface structures produced in microgravity
(Cahoon and Chaturvedi)
