Grant Description

Using the combined tools of experiment, theory and computer simulations, the goals of this program are to enable the advancement of fundamental understanding of metallic materials from the atomic to nano-structural to bulk length scales via imaginative and, especially, transformational research. A primary objective is to foster the expansion of the activities of synthesis, processing and characterization so that advanced metallic materials and nanostructures with superior physical, mechanical, and/or chemical properties can be predicted and designed, leading to enhanced knowledge of nano- and micro-structure/composition/property relationships at all the relevant length scales. The broad intellectual scope of this program covers the science of advanced structural, high-temperature, hybrid and multifunctional metallic materials; phase transitions, equilibrium and non-equilibrium structures, defects, and phenomena; thermodynamics, kinetics, diffusion, and cooperative behavior across length scales leading to fundamental insights into material properties, nano- and micro-structure evolution; tailored surfaces and interfaces; oxidation; metal-based transducer materials utilizing novel principles for energy conversion; magnetic structures and their interaction with electron transport; metallic clusters and nanoparticles, linear chains and nanowires, low-dimensional structures that exhibit new behavior, quantized electronic, magnetic, or thermal effects, and enhanced physical, mechanical, and chemical properties.
