| Background |
|
Areas of Concentration
|
Misture’s group studies the dynamic behavior of oxide ceramics and glasses related to energy conversion devices. Projects generally rely on detailed in-situ characterization using X-rays and neutrons to understand the relationships between structure and properties. Our recent work has focused on the effects of oxygen partial pressure and humidity on structure, phase stability, and conductivity. Naturally, some projects involve the engineering challenges of multiphase materials.
