Electric fields are known to have sometimes profound, and often non-linear, influences on the chemistry and microstructure evolution of solid-state materials and can be utilized to enhance processing kinetics and/or lead to highly non-equilibrium structures. While the...

Nanocomposites comprise of nanocrystals of different phases or composition, where crystallites and interfacial nanostructures form a disordered morphology. An interesting feature of these materials is that the energy disruption for both electrons and phonons can...

In a multi component nanocrystalline material, crystallites and interfacial nanostructures form a disordered morphology. In such a disordered nanostructured material, the energy disruption for both electrons and phonons can happen in a time scale that is smaller or...

Coherent Potential Approximation (CPA) There is currently no quantum mechanical transport model for charge (or phonon) transport in multiphase nanocrystalline structures. Due to absence of periodicity, one cannot apply any of the elegant theorems, such as...
