Objective

Interfaces between amorphous/glassy layers and crystalline materials are playing an increasingly important role in the properties of manufactured ceramics and composites , especially as they move towards the nanometer scale . Recent research has revealed previously unknown physical , electronic and chemical phenomena occurring at these interfaces. The nanometer-scale structure at the interface is now believed to cause gradients in order and bonding that influence macroscopic physical properties such as fracture, high temperature creep, sintering, electrical conductivity, dielectric response and chemical reactivity. The goal of this project is to achieve a complete computational and experimental description of the structure and basic properties of crystal/glass interfaces, for the purpose of improving materials properties.
