MATERIALS SCIENCES PROGRAM.
Abstract
Fields of materials research at Brown University includes: Theoretical studies of mechanical behavior of elastic and viscoelastic materials; Experimental studies of nonlinear viscoelastic behavior and of fracture in polymers and glasses by stress wave loading; Studies of crystal defects, their origin and their interactions; Propagation of high-frequency stress waves in solids; Studies of structures and molecular forces in crystals by spectroscopy from xray to sub-audio frequencies; Electron and nuclear spin resonance studies of inorganic crystals and complexes; Phase transitions and rate processes in polymers and glasses from molecular theory and experiment; Studies in mechanics of solids ranging from response of structural elements to macroscopic evaluation of microscopic behavior; Physical metallurgy and corresponding studies of ionic crystals and ceramics; Electrical properties of semiconductors especially as affected by radiation; Deformation of isotropic materials, crystals, and aggregates under geological conditions and in model systems; Stability of crystalline materials in relation to temperature, pressure and chemical composition, and as affected by ion exchange and gaseous diffusion; Properties of matter at a very low temperatures; theory of superconductivity and related many-body problems; Surface state physics and electron microscopy; Paramagnetic resonance in solids, acoustic and hydrodynamic studies of solids and liquid metals.
