Research Highlights
UCI scientists observe effects of heat in materials with atomic resolution
UCI scientists observe effects of heat in materials with atomic resolution Research will benefit design of future electronic and thermoelectric technologies Irvine, Calif., June 8, 2022 – As electronic, thermoelectric and computer technologies have been miniaturized...
UCI scientists measure local vibrational modes at individual crystalline faults
Breakthrough research made possible by advanced microscopic techniques Often admired for their flawless appearance to the naked eye, crystals can have defects at the nanometer scale, and these imperfections may affect the thermal and heat transport properties of...
Eutectic microstructure induced by flash sintering
By Yingjie Yang and Martha MecartneyMaterials Science and Engineering, UC Irvine LaPO4/Al2O3 eutectic microstructure produced by flash sintering, a process that uses an electric field to enhance densification at lower temperatures and shorter processing times....
Structural characterization of quantum dot superlattice by electron tomography
This study used the GrandARM to make a tomogram of a 3D quantum dot superlattice film. It’s state-of-the-art tomography using a full-tilt needle sample, with 0.65 nm resolution over a very large volume of 4.3 x 105 nm3. The full article can be found at J. Mater. Chem....
