Research Highlights of FY20

Here are the highlights from our 6 publications in fiscal year 2020. This year we explored a range of topics, including phase separation in oxides, nanoparticle synthesis, order-disorder behavior at oxide interfaces, oxidative pathways in actinides, and more! We continue to pursue novel ways to integrate atomically precise synthesis, modeling, and multi-modal imaging to engineer new and useful materials properties.
