Materials with controlled microstructure

The research of the group Materials with Controlled Microstructure is focused on preparation, characterization and theory of a wide spectrum of structural metallic materials – from single crystals via oriented bi- and tricrystals up to materials with micro- and/or nanocrystalline structure. Establishment of basic properties of individual, fully defined grain boundaries and triple junctions and their anisotropy enables understanding the collective behavior of the grains, their boundaries and junctions in multicrystalline structures.
