In particular, I'm working on using solid-state defects in diamond (which behave very much like artificial atoms) as magnetic field sensors, with the goal of using them as little, nanoscale MRI machines that can study the structure and dynamics of single biological molecules (e.g. proteins). .
Offers a broad overview of various kinetic and transport processes in geology, including volume and grain boundary solid-state diffusion, defects in minerals, rates of mineral reaction and transformation, crystal nucleation and growth, advective transport in porous media and partially molten aggregates, and percolation theory.
We examined the collection on solid medium for defects in growth by measuring colony size differences on glucose- or galactose-containing medium.
The approach employed here combines the equivalent inclusion method by Eshelby, see work by Mura (Micromechanics of Defects in Solids, 1987) and the extension of Rodin's (J. Mech. Phys. Solids 44, 1996) algorithmic solution for a polygonal inclusion with constant eigenstrains to the case of polynomial eigenstrains.

This new method is derived based on the elastic interaction between line defects in solids (dislocations).
The motion of extended defects in solids is the key to understanding many important physical phenomena.
Since the last decade, radiation defects in solids during surface modification by ion beams have been extensively investigated.
