Structure and Reactivity of Heterogeneous Surfaces and Study of the Geometry of Surface Complexes: Progress Summary (1977-1985) and Progress Report for January 1, 1985-December 31, 1985

摘要

Our research program focused on four major materials science areas: (1) surface, interface and interphase-interface phenomena; (2) phase transformations; materials growth and materials processing; (3) small material aggregates; and systems in confirming environments. The complex nature of the materials systems required a research program which combined novel theoretical methods and modeling strategies with established theoretical analytical techniques. In particular, studies of certain of the materials problems required special modeling considerations and simulation techniques which while preserving the complexity (and reality) of the system under study, rendered it soluble thus allowing systematic studies. 44 refs., 2 figs.
