U.S.-Australia Cooperative Research: Numerical and Analytic Investigations of Instabilities of Surfaces and Interfaces

9605179 Sander该奖项将支持密歇根大学物理系Leonard Snader教授与澳大利亚国立大学物理系David Williams教授之间的合作研究。他们将对固体薄膜和层状材料的弹性驱动动力学和不稳定性进行一系列研究，包括分析和数值研究。需要研究的具体现象有：1)异质外延中的岛状形成，2)片层膜相膨胀/溶胀中的弹性驱动不稳定性，以及3)棒圈嵌段共聚物材料中的应变效应。

9605179 Sander This award will support cooperative research between Professor Leonard Snader of the Department of Physics of the University of Michigan and Professor David Williams of the Department of Physics of the Australian National University. They will conduct a series of studies of elastically driven kinetics and instabilities in thin solid films and lamellar materials, including both analytic and numerical investigations. The specific phenomena to be studied are: 1) island formation in heteroepitaxy, 2) elastically driven instabilities in swelling/deswelling of lamellar membrane phases, and 3) strain effects in rod-coil block copolymer materials.
