The Department of Materials Science and Engineering is internationally recognized for its research in materials synthesis, characterization, nanostructured naterials and thin films, computational materials science, metallic glasses, electronic materials, and nondestructive evaluation.
There are currently three centers associated with the Department. A new interdisciplinary Materials Research Science and Engineering Center on Nanostructured Materials, funded by the National Science Foundation, was established in January, 1997. This effort brings together researchers from materials science, physics, and chemical engineering to study the unique electrical and magnetic properties of nanostructures.
The Department's Surface Analytical Laboratory is located in Maryland Hall and includes a scanning Auger electron spectrometer and an x-ray photoelectron spectrometer. The Electron Microscopy Laboratory is also in Maryland Hall and has a scanning electron microscope with a field emission source for high resolution imaging and a scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive x-ray analysis. The scanning probe microscopy facility includes scanning tunneling microscopes, atomic force microscopes, and a nanoindenter. The metallography laboratory has polishing facilities as well as 2 optical microscopes with digital cameras. The Department maintains a sputter deposition system with dc and magnetron guns, high temeprature furnaces. Also on campus is the transmission electron microscopy laboratory which has a new high resolution field emission instrument. More detailed information on research activities in the department can be found on the home pages of the individual research groups. |
