Ph.D. Dissertation Defense: Baoming Wang, "Effects of External Stimuli on Microstructure-Property Relationship at the Nanoscale."

314 Leonhard Building
10 a.m.

Due to their small physical and/or microstructural size, nanoscale materials show significantly different behavior compared to the bulk. Conventional approach is to characterize mechanical, electrical or thermal properties in their individual domains as function of size. Instead, our approach in this research is to exploit the size effect to tune microstructure (and hence the properties).
