Applications of powder diffraction (traditional and non-traditional techniques) to the analysis of materials microstructure, residual stresses and crystallographic texture
Diffractometric studies of the relationships between structure/ microstructure and the macroscopic behavior of thin films and thick coatings
Modeling of surface relaxation phenomena occurring in nanometer-sized powders within a full diffraction pattern approach
Study of the through-thickness residual stress profile in bulk materials and thin films using combination of destructive (hole drilling, coating debonding) and non-destructive (synchrotron, x-ray and neutron diffraction) techniques
Surface reactivity of nano-sized powders and their effects on powder solubility
In situ mesoscopic (ESEM study) and microscopic (X-ray diffraction) analysis of microstructure and its evolution in natural and functionalized layered materials (clays)
