Experimental Surface Science.
The study of gas- and metal- surface reactions, semiconductor surface, thin films, ohmic and Schottky contact development, semiconductor processing technology, wide band gap electronics, liquid metal alloy wetting, and Pb-free solder technology, and tin whiskers. Current work focuses on the details of chemical reactions between liquid and solid surfaces. The focus is obtain a microscopic description of surface dynamic processes by exploring the kinetics of surface reactions and the nature of the surface chemical bond.
