Research Interests :
Current research involves the structure/property relationships in both functional and structural ceramics. High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), in combination with Analytical Electron Microscopy (AEM), are utilized to study the bulk ceramics and/or thin films of chemical sensors, ferroelectrics, and silicon nitride-based materials. Physical and chemical deposition techniques are used to prepare the films. Problems under investigation include interfacial structure and chemistry, grain growth, defects, segregation behavior, and electrical properties. Considerable emphasis is placed on understanding the atomistic structure and chemistry of ceramic/ceramic and metal/ceramic interfaces.
