Welcome to

We conduct application-inspired basic research on thin films to fundamentally understand the atomistic nature of materials properties and behavior and learn how to make materials perform better through new methods of synthesis, processing, and computation. This leads to the discovery of novel phases and structures, as well as finding new materials phenomena. Emphasis is put on the relationships between growth from the vapor phase, microstructure, and properties of thin solid films. We thus extend the frontiers of materials science and nanotechnology to expand the scientific foundations for the development of materials. Innovations are often patented and results explored in collaboration with industry. |
