Development of advanced high-performance materials requires broad expertise and state-of-the-art facilities and instruments
First Principles Theory:
- Understand the fundamental behavior of materials
Modeling of Complex Phenomena:
- Describe the relation between composition, structure, and properties
- Describe complex, multi-length and time scale processes
Synthesis and Processing:
- Creating unique compositions and structures at the atomic, meso, and macro scale, using traditional and unique new methods
Structural Characterization:
- Determination of the elemental distributions and structure from the atomic to macro scale
Physical and Mechanical Property Determination:
- Determine the effects of operating environment on properties (e.g. corrosion science, irradiation effects)
Provide a basis for material selection, component design, life prediction
Technology Transfer:
- Partner with industry for scaleup to industrial production
Transfer technology
