Charecterizing 3D structures, failure mechanisms and degradation phenomena

• Determine the arrangement of atoms of a crystalline solid in three-dimensional space
• Quantify microstructural evolution
• Perform in situ and 4D (time dependent studies) to understand the impact of heating, cooling, desiccation, wetting, tension, compression, imbibition, drainage and other simulated environmental studies
