Structural relaxations and crystallization in amorphous food model formulations
… understanding phase transitions associated with structural relaxations and their coupling with properties of food materials is still a challenging and developing area of food materials science. Our laboratory has developed a new approach for the use of α-relaxation times (τ) and introduced a …

Structural relaxations of glass-forming alkali-borate and alkali-tellurite in the GHz frequency range
The Brillouin light scattering technique was used to determine the high-frequency complex mechanical modulus of a series of strong glass-forming alkali-borate and fragile glass-forming alkali-tellurite systems. Lithium, sodium, and potassium, were added to the systems to determine their influence …

Structural relaxation of binary food systems
This project advanced the study of structural relaxation into two binary food systems. It studied the effect of anti-plasticizer addition (i.e. addition of glucose syrup solid and addition of starch) on structural relaxation of sucrose based amorphous mixtures. It also studied the effect of …

Interface Structure Studies of Copper Thin Films on C-Plane Sapphire by Crystal Truncation Rod Analysis Using Synchrotron X-Ray
… terminating layer sequence of the substrate, the structural relaxations (interatomic distance change) of the layers near the surface and the interfacial roughness.

Dynamical perspective of stability in glasses
… of timescales, from picosecond vibrations to structural relaxations lasting hundreds of seconds. Different stability regimes are explored by combining distinct preparation methods, such as physical vapor deposition, with thermo-mechanical treatments including X-ray irradiation and …

Study of atomic scale dynamics of glass-forming metallic liquids using neutron scattering experiments and molecular dynamics simulations
… efforts have focused on the structure-property relaxations in these materials. However, very little is known about the behavior of liquids from which they are quenched to their glassy states. Besides, from a fundamental science perspective, they serve as intriguing systems to explore the …

Structure-property correlations in compositionally complex ferroelectrics
… These materials show nanoscale chemical and structural heterogeneity that make finding the origin of their exceptional properties a seemingly intractable problem. Here, I utilize STEM to quantify various types of nanoscale heterogeneities and determine their correlation with the nanoscale …
