Crack Interaction With Microstructure: An in-situ TEM Study

K.S. Kumar, Division of Engineering, Brown University
Understanding crack growth behavior in complex materials is critical to material design for damage tolerance.  An advancing crack, by virtue of its stress field, modifies the microstructure ahead of it including include changes in dislocation density, interfaces modification, decohesion of interfaces, void nucleation, and phase transformation .  Such changes in microstructure can in turn have a reciprocal effect on the advancing crack.  The problem is hierarchical in length scale and must be examined at the continuum, mesoscopic and atomic scales.

Size dependence of flow stress in amorphous nanowires at temperatures near glass transition

Y. Wei, A.F. Bower, H. Gao Division of Engineering, Brown University
The unique microstructure and properties of amorphous materials make them attractive candidates for applications such as precision components in micro-electro-mechanical systems. There is  consequently great interest in fabricating sub-micron and nanoscale components of amorphous materials. This will require a thorough understanding of their properties.

Imaging Quantum states of Bosonic atoms

Nathan Gemelke, Xibo Zhang, Chen-Lung Hung, Cheng Chin
By tuning the optical lattice depth or the interaction between cold atoms, a weakly-interacting atomic bosonic superfluid can be converted into a strongly correlated Mott insulator. Near the phase boundary, quantum criticality, resembling that of Ising-type

MRSEC-Inspired Exhibits at Chicago's Museum of Science & Industry

Science Storms, the newest permanent exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, opened to the public on March 18th.  MRSEC graduate students, postdocs, research staff and faculty assisted with the compilation of an inventory of chemical reactions for the Interactive Periodic Tables.  In addition, aspects of granular materials research  in IRGs 1 and 2 are featured prominently.   MRSEC members, Heinrich Jaeger and Steve Sibener participated in key advisory groups for this new exhibit.
