Vibrational spectroscopies using infrared radiation1,
This work was performed in collaboration with Dr. Phil Rice and Dr. Teya Topuria of IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, CA who provided expert assistance as well as the TEM specimen and access to their microscope facilities.
Colorized EELS elemental map of Ti L2,3-edges at 456 eV (green), Mn L2,3-edges at 640 eV (blue), La M4,5-edges at 832 eV (purple) and Sr L2,3-edges at 1940 eV (red).

Degradation of optical properties in Mo mirrors irradiated with helium and/or deuterium ions has been studied by ellipsometric spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and electron microscopy.
Sr-doped LaCoO3 has a complex magnetic phase diagram, which is believed to be directly correlated to changes in the crystal structure and ordering of the Co3+ spin states.

Significant loss of life and property results each year from fires fueled by polyurethane found in household furnishings. Established layer-by-layer flame retardant systems were combined to produce a stacked nanocoating for flame retarding polyurethane foam.
Elevated temperature sliding contact experiments were carried out on an Al-Mg alloy AA5083 to study the formation of oxide fibres on their surface. Deformation and friction tests were conducted at a constant strain rate of 4×10−2 s−1 at temperatures 350 °C, 450 °C and 545 °C.
