I am currently interested in several areas of solid-state research. These include ferroelectric and piezoelectric ceramic materials, "soft lithography" and scanning probe microscopy (SPM) of biomaterials. Follow the links below to find out more information about our work.
- Ferroelectricity and Piezoelectricity
- Soft Lithography
- Scanning Probe Microscopy of Biomaterials
- Instrumentation and Facilities:
- Digital Instruments Deimension 3100 large-stage non-contact and contact mode AFM / lateral force (LFM) / phase imaging and magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and scanning tunneling microscope (STM)
- Digital Instruments Multimode non-contact and contact mode AFM / lateral force (LFM) / phase imaging and magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and scanning tunneling microscope (STM)
- Rudolph single wavelength ellipsometer—non destructive instrument for measuring optical properties (refractive index and thickness) of materials
- Leica Stereomicroscope with CCD camera
- 1100oC Tube Furnace
