Research Statement: Lattice kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of the kinetic pathways for phase transformations (nucleation, growth, and coarsening) in technologically relevant materials using a scientific approach; interfacial segregation at heterophase interfaces; heterophase interfaces (metal/metal and metal/semiconductor); kinetic pathways for decomposition of nanostructures in metallic alloys -- model nickel-base superalloys, aluminum-scandium-rare earth high-temperature alloys, high-strength low-carbon steels for Naval applicaitons; the role of palladium and platinum for stabilizing nickel silicides that are use in intergrated circuits; characterization of niobium for superconducting radio frequency cavities for the international linar collider, which is to be constructed some time in the future;tunnel junctions in magnetic multilayers; conventional and high resolution electron microscopies, three-dimensional atom-probe tomography; local-electrode atom-probe (LEAP) tomography. The emphasis of my research is on understanding the physical properties of these materials in terms of their microstructures at different length scales starting with the atomic scale using a combination of experiments and simulations, plus first-principles calculations where necessary. Design and research on coarsenging-resistant high-temperature alloys, 0.7 of the absolute melting point of aluminum; the specific alloy is Al-Sc-Zr-Er-Si with a core/double-shell structure nanostructure. An example of this appeared on the cover of the journal SMALL. This is a highly significant discovery and resulted from research sponsored by the Ford-Boeing-Northwestern Alliance with David C. Dunand. Both Ford and Boeing plan to use this alloy in their automobiles and airplanes, respectively.
