Research Interests of the Glass IRG
Our goals are to advance the fundamental science of glass interfaces and to contribute to glass-related technologies.
Our tools include the methods of theoretical solid state physics, high resolution electron microscopy and spectroscopy, tunneling and force microscopies, micromechanical testing, thin film preparation, nanofabrication techniques, synchrotron X-ray methods, tracer analysis and IR spectroscopy.
