Real-time atomic resolution dynamics of glass surfaces
… on metallic glass surfaces discovered localized two-state dynamics of atomic clusters (2-8 atomic diameters) active even below the glass transition temperature (Tg). Atomic scale evidence of spatial and temporal heterogeneity was acquired. After multiple metallic glass surfaces were shown to …

Statistical Mechanics of thermalized ribbons and sheets
… dissertation, we study the thermal behavior of two-dimensional sheets and ribbons. We study the effects of thermal fluctuations on the crumpling transition of elastic sheets. Existing two-dimensional sheets have a crumpling temperature which is very high and the crumpling transition has not been …

Surface glassy dynamics and single-molecule absorption of quantum dots detected by scanning tunneling microscopy
… microscopy (STM), I investigated surface glassy dynamics, absorption spectroscopy and intermolecular energy transfer between single quantum dots (QDs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Glass is an exotic state of matter which is not in equilibrium, but can be stable for billions of years. However, the …
