Scanning Probe Microscopy in Materials Science
Research in microgravity science involving
the SPM Lab at UAH.
Research in microgravity materials is done in collaboration with investigators at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and through the Alliance for Microgravity Materials Science and Applications. AMMSA combines researchers from NASA, Universites Space Research Association (USRA) and the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Current projects involving scanning probe microscopy are:
Study of the effects of gravity
on melt-grown semiconductor crystal growth Protein crystal growth in solution Polymer and metallic thin films
