Shape Evolution of Nanostructures by Thermal and Ion Beam Processing
Single-crystalline nanostructures often exhibit gradients of surface (and/or interface) curvature that emerge from fabrication and growth processes or from thermal fluctuations. Thus, the system-inherent capillary force can initiate morphological transformations during further processing steps or …

Designing and Fabricating 3D Nanostructures through Directed Self-Assembly of Block Copolymers
Intricate designs of 3D nanostructures are needed in different research areas. Our current techniques for fabrication of 3D structures are limited by either length scale or efficiency. Compared to the conventional methods such as ‘top-down’ lithography, self-assembly of block copolymer (BCP) …

Heat transport by phonons in crystalline materials and nanostructures
… studies of heat transport by phonons in crystalline materials and nanostructures, and across solid-solid interfaces. Particularly, this dissertation emphasizes advancing understanding of the mean-free-paths (i.e., the distance phonons propagate without being scattered) of acoustic …
