Precipitation Behavior of Magnesium Alloys Containing Neodymium and Y ttrium
(2017)
Magnesium is the lightest of the structural metals and has great potential for reducing the weight of transportation systems, which in turn reduces harmful emissions and improves fuel economy. Due to the inherent softness ...
Evolution and Impact of Microstructure in Functional Materials
(2019)
A series of investigations are conducted to determine, first, how microstructure evolves in the synthesis of optical materials via template-directed eutectic solidification and, second, how microstructure affects the ...
The Influence of Microstructure on the Deformation and Failure of Ultrafine-Grained Aluminum.
(2014)
Ultrafine-grained (UFG) aluminum produced by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is considerably stronger than its coarse grained counterpart, while maintaining significant ductility. There have been a number of prior ...
The Role of Pre-Implanted Helium and Carbon on Cavity Evolution in Ion-Irradiated T91
(2018)
The objective of this thesis is to understand the role of pre-implanted helium, with and without the presence of excess carbon, on the cavity evolution of ion-irradiated T91. Alloy T91, heat C2269, was pre-implanted at ...
Computational and Phenomenological Modeling of Atomic-Scale Transport Processes in Glasses and Glass-Forming Liquids
(2023)
This work focuses on the computational investigation and phenomenological model development of atomic-scale transport properties in glasses and glass forming liquids. Specifically, we study ion diffusion and viscous processes ...
Functionalization of Polymeric Materials to Control the Kinetics of Pharmaceutical Crystallization
(2019)
Crystallization is ubiquitous in the pharmaceutical industry and is employed in the design, development, and manufacturing of drugs. In particular, controlling the kinetics of crystallization can improve the efficiency of ...
Interfacial Tuning of Multifunctional Composites and Bio-Inspired Materials with Atomic Layer Deposition
(2021)
Surface and interfacial modification processes have the potential to address several of the performance limitations in the fields of structural materials, energy conversion, and energy storage, among others. Hence, there ...
Towards Sustainable Textiles: Microplastics, Coffee, and Closing the Loop
(2023)
It is increasingly becoming clear that the way textiles are currently produced and consumed can be unsustainable and negatively impact human and environmental health. In this study both textile production, sourcing, and ...
Microstructure Evolution in Dilute and Concentrated Multi-Component Alloys under Irradiation
(2023)
The development of sustainable energy sources that minimize greenhouse gas emissions such as nuclear energy lessens the world’s dependence on fossil fuels while addressing climate change and longer-term sustainability. The ...
Nanoscale GaN Epitaxy and Polytype Selection in Liquid-metal Mediated Environments and Writing-to-Learn in Materials Science and Engineering
(2023)
Most low dimensional materials possess properties different from their bulk counterparts and can be engineered to exhibit a wide range of physical properties for the fabrication of electronic, optoelectronic, and quantum ...
