AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the strength and properties of materials from atoms and electrons.
The Materials Physics Lab studies the strength and physical properties of materials from the atomic and electronic level.
Its research keywords include ceramics, semiconductors, ferroelectrics, hydrogen embrittlement, and hydrogen-functional materials.
The keywords for its methods are transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and nanoindentation.
The lab is a research group of the Materials and Structural Engineering chair, in the Nonlinear Mechanics area of the Department of Mechanical Science and Bioengineering.
Key terms
- Ferroelectric
- A material with an electric polarization whose direction can be switched by applying an electric field
- Hydrogen embrittlement
- A phenomenon in which hydrogen enters a metal and makes the material brittle
- Transmission electron microscopy
- A method that passes an electron beam through a thin specimen to observe its internal structure in fine detail
ResearchResearch themes
