Stable Isotope Variations in Extraterrestrial Materials

Investigations of Shock Effects on Phosphate Minerals in Extraterrestrial Materials

Cosmochemistry: Understanding the Solar System through analysis of extraterrestrial materials.

Cosmochemistry is the chemical analysis of extraterrestrial materials. This term generally is taken to mean laboratory analysis, which is the cosmochemistry gold standard because of the ability for repeated analysis under highly controlled conditions using the most advanced instrumentation unhindered by limitations in power, space, or environment. Over the past 40 y, advances in technology have...

Modeling and Analytical Study for Ferroelectric Materials

We discuss rate-independent engineering models for multi-dimensional behavior of ferroelectric materials. These models capture the non-linear and hysteretic behavior of such materials. We show that these models can be formulated in an energetic framework which is based on the elastic and the electric displacements as reversible variables and interior, irreversible variables like the remanent po...
