Current research interests
Phase transitions in solids
I have been collaborating with
Professor Dorian M. Hatch since 1983 on this project. We have been
applying group-theoretical methods to the study of transitions between
crystalline phases in solids. One of the major successes of our work
has been the establishment of a large data base and the implementation
of computer algorithms to carry out the
group-theoretical computations in a wide variety of cases. Our
collaboration has resulted in 42 jointly-authored
papers in refereed journals over the last 18 years.
In addition, we published a major reference work, Isotropy
Subgroups of the 230 Crystallographic Space Groups, and played a
major role in preparing the 1993 English edition of the Russian
reference work,
Representations of the Crystallographic Space Groups, by
O. V. Kovalev. More recently, I have been collaborating with Dr.
Branton J. Campbell. Together, we have developed a new internet tool,
ISODISPLACE, which includes interactive
graphics.
