Surface and Interface Processes,
Surface Phase Transitions,
Devices / Instrumentation Design

Theoretical studies and model calculations
are performed on a variety of systems to determine
the mechanisms behind surface, interface, and thin
film processes. These efforts, particularly in the
areas of surface phase transitions and thin film
growth processes, complement the experimental work
being carried out at LASST. Modeling is also extensively
used in conjunction with the design of new instrumentation
and microfabricated devices.
