Nanostructured materials are solids with characteristic structure sizes in the range <100 nm, into which such a large number of lattice defects have been introduced that the properties of these substances are dominated by the defects.
Glasses are solid materials without a crystal structure. The atoms do not form a lattice, so that there is no long-range order, but rather a short-range order. Metallic glasses are created by preventing natural crystallization during cooling.
Closely related material classes are glass-crystal-composites and nanoglasses.
The elucidation of the atomic structure, thermodynamic and mechanical properties of these materials is the focus of our research interests.
Projects
We are currently working on the following topics:
- Dislocation properties and hardening mechanisms
- Mechanical properties of nanoglass
- Creep behavior of glass-crystal composites
- Shear band formation and transport in shear bands
- Grain boundaries and dislocations in high entropy alloys
- Nanoporous alloys
We have published results on the following topics:
