Solving the problem of how to measure a material harder than diamond
In experiments, measuring the hardness of a very hard material is fundamentally challenging. We aim to study the physical mechanics behind nanoindentation measurements to help better measure superhard materials.
Creating new materials using pressure and diamond anvil cells
New forms of materials can be made using extreme pressures via diamond anvil cells.
Making diamond from disordered forms of carbon
We have shown that glassy carbon is a fascinating material which has different properties depending on thow it was formed. The effect on how order and impurities influences the new phases formed under pressure is not understood.
High pressure creation of new forms of diamond
The hexagonal form of sp3 bonded carbon is predicted to be harder than 'normal' cubic diamond. We can make tiny amounts of this new form of diamond and want to know if it really is harder than diamond.
GeSn defect properties measured by nanoindentation
To understand defects in metal-semiconductor alloys, specifically GeSn in this project, to help making better alloy films and devices.
