CURRENT RESEARCH
-
X-ray and neutron scattering studies of phase transitions
and of disordered and defective solids : structure and modelling of liquids
and amorphous solids including molten salts, amorphous Si, biopolymers,
oxide and metallic glasses and colloids
- Nanocrystalline solids including semiconductor molecular nanoclusters in zeolite pores
-
Modulated solids including structural and order-disorder
transformations in metals and surface induced effects
- Structure and defects in high Tc superconductors
-
Thin films including studies of epitaxy and interfacial structures
in metallic and semiconducting multilayers and superlattices
Laboratory: X-ray
Structural Studies of Materials
Shown here is a rotating anode X-ray source with a four-circle
diffractometer and computer controls and electronics..
