Relationship
between microstructures and mechanical properties
of refractory metal coatings (principally Mo, Ta,
and Ta-N alloys as model systems)
Includes using
the world¹s first nanoindenter capable of operating
throughout a range of temperatures necessary to
explore strengthening mechanisms in thin films strengthening
mechanisms in nanolayer composites, specially super-high
strength laminate composites, creep and creep-fatigue
of the lead-tin eutectic - how deformation mechanisms
in solders impact fatigue behavior
