Area Frontier Materials / Energy and Environmental Research
Speciality Our research interests are studying phase equilibria, phase transformation and thermodynamics of inorganic materials. The knowledge is then applied to the understanding of materials systems and manufacturing processes. The materials currently under investigations are Pb-free solders in electronics, IR-transmitted optical glasses and metallic dental alloys. Major efforts include determinations of the isothermal sections and liquidus projections both experimentally and theoretically, study of the reactive wetting phenomena between the molten metals and substrates, and investigations of the interfacial reactions at joints. The most exciting research topic currently being carried out is the exploration of the electromigration effects upon the interfacial reactions at solder joints in the electronic products. The passage of electric currents through metallic joints has resulted various unique phenomena which are of both academic and industrial importance.
