Please consider attending the following: MATERIALS ENGINEERING SEMINAR "Field Microstructure Evolution of Solid-Solid Interfaces in Ionic Ceramics for Energy Applications" By Lucas D. Robinson Purdue MSE Ph.D. Preliminary Exam Advisor: Professor Edwin García ABSTRACT Interfaces (grain boundaries, phase boundaries, surfaces, etc.) can greatly influence the performance of energy-related materials. Applications where interfaces play a critical role include solid state batteries and solid oxide fuel cells, electronic materials, metallic vias, and solder bumps that connect different components. These bonded material systems possess equilibrium and kinetic properties that can be attributed to the underlying interfaces due to the interactions between abutting phases, with dissimilar properties. In this context, understanding the evolution of the heterostructural phases that develop is a key step for the development of advanced devices. In this work, phase field models for the microstructure evolution of homo- and heterointerfaces are reviewed. Current models in literature are found to be insufficient for modeling phase boundaries in battery materials, and do not fully describe a multiphase, multicomponent system with charge and polarization effects. A generalized multiphase field theoretical framework is being developed to predict the effects of interfacial space charge, composition, and lattice mismatch on through-thickness transport properties for ceramic systems. Application of the model for microstructure evolution in metallic systems is discussed as a stepping stone for its use in battery materials. Date: Friday, November 6, 2018 Time: 11:30 A.M.

Just a reminder this Friday's Shannon's lunch
by Coar, Stacey L 07 Nov '18

07 Nov '18

Good afternoon, I wanted to remind everyone about the carry-in this Friday to say goodbye to our favorite safety person, Shannon. I have reserved ARMS 1109 from 11a-1p. Please bring your favorite dish and the department will provide utensils, plates, napkins and drinks. If you would like to stop by and write down what you are bringing that is great or if you want it to be a surprise, that is even better. There are plenty of plugs for crockpots and there will be plenty of seating and tables. Please plan to come and let's make this a great MSE send off to Shannon. See you all Friday, Stacey Stacey Coar Secretary/Development Assistant School of Materials Engineering Purdue University Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering 701 West Stadium Ave. Room 2300 West Lafayette, IN 47907 765-494-4100 scoar(a)purdue.edu<mailto:scoar@purdue.edu>

Please consider attending the following: MATERIALS ENGINEERING SEMINAR "Instantaneous Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing" By Aline M. Elquist Purdue MSE Ph.D. Preliminary Exam Advisors: Professor Na Lu and Professor Rodney W. Trice ABSTRACT Rapid determination of drugs effective against bacterial strains is critically important to stopping further spread of an infection and reducing antibiotic resistant bacteria strains. The concentration of antibiotic or even the type of antibiotic effective against the microbe can vary within the same species due to antibiotic resistance. Drug resistant bacterial infections are becoming increasingly prevalent and physicians must prescribe broad spectrum antibiotics to treat infections until antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) results become available. Broad spectrum antibiotics are expensive, increase the risk of side effects, and increase the risk of inducing antibiotic resistance. Current AST methods require several days to grow the bacteria isolate to a suitable concentration for testing, then monitor the growth of the bacteria in the presence of antibiotics to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotic that will kill the bacteria. There is a need for a rapid AST method to be developed that can operate at low concentrations of bacteria and determine susceptibility without relying on bacteria growth.

Please consider attending the following: MATERIALS ENGINEERING SEMINAR "Growth Mechanisms and Growth Kinetics for Oxide-Oxide Vertically Aligned Nanocomposite Thin Films" By Di Zhang Purdue MSE Ph.D. Preliminary Exam Advisor: Professor Haiyan Wang ABSTRACT In this review article, the strain states and growth mechanisms of oxide-oxide vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) thin films are discussed. The VAN films have highly tunable strain states including in-plane and out-of-plane strains. By strain tuning good epitaxy of large lattice mismatched materials and variable physical properties could be achieved. Two basic growth mechanisms-(a) nucleation and growth and (b) (pseudo-) spinodal decomposition-and growth kinetics are reviewed respectively with typical examples. After pointing out some discrepancies incurrent growth theories and unresolved questions in VAN research field, several promising techniques and future outlooks of this field are outlined. Key words: strain, growth mechanism, vertically aligned nanocomposite Date:Tuesday, November 6, 2018 Time: 8:30 A.M. Place: ARMS 1028
