Microstructure of materials
We study in detail the microstructure of primarily metallic materials and its development during fabrication and service. The aim is to understand how the microstructure depends on process parameters (composition, heat-treatment, service exposure, etc.) and how the microstructure determines the properties of the material. At present martensitic steels, cemented carbides, hot-work tool steels, polycrystalline cubic boron nitride and zirconium alloys are being studied (see Projects) with Atom Probe Field Ion Microscopy (APFIM), Three-Dimensional Atom Probe (3DAP), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) including Energy Filtered TEM (EFTEM) and X-ray analysis (EDS), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) including Electron Back Scattered Diffraction (EBSD). For specimen preparation a Focused Ion Beam (FIB) workstation and a FIB-SEM are used. We collaborate on thermodynamical modelling with the Division of Physical Metallurgy at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (Prof. Ågren), and on atomistic calculations with the Group for Materials and Surface Theory at Chalmers (Prof. Wahnström).

Technology
Fysikgränd is located north (through a vault) of Kemigården, which is slightly north of the centre of the Chalmers area. The entrance to our building "Forskar- huset" is below the bridge to the old Physics building. Enter the building and call me, and I will feth you. My room is located on the entrance level. This level can only be accessed with a card key.
Welcome!
