Research Summary
While still maintaining an active interest in materials characterization using X-rays, the active systems of study today involve bio-inspired approaches to manufacturing and synthesis; nano-materials and the effect of surface free energy on materials properties in magnetic, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, semiconducting, superconducting, optoelectronic and phononic materials. Examples of current research involve approaches to the fabrication of barium hexaferrite nano-structures, characterization of the kinetics and dynamics of incongruent reduction reactions to produce useful nanomachines, analysis of the defect types and densities in nano-devices.
