Lab Overview
1. Micro/ Nano scale structure analysis using EBSD, FIB and TEM.
Metallic, amorphous material��셲 distinct characteristic and their unique crystal structures affect their mechanical, electrical and other properties. High resolution microstructure could be observed for metal, thinfilm, nanowire and battery material etc.2. Interpretation of material properties using finite elements method.
Computer simulation solve the analytical data by estimating the entire picture by combining each data from divided phases. The resulting data becomes reliable enough that it can be used on real system for stress dispersion, prediction on physical shape, and thermal conductivity.
