Osgood Jr. Professor of Electrical Engineering Aron Pinczuk Professor of Applied Physics and Physics Ponisseril Somasundaran Professor of Mineral Engineering Yasutomo Uemura Professor of Physics Wen I. Wang Professor of Electrical Engineering Chee Wei Wong Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) focuses on understanding, designing, and producing technology-enabling materials by analyzing the relationships among the synthesis and processing of materials, their properties, and their detailed structure. This includes a wide range of materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics, and semiconductors. Solidstate science and engineering focuses on understanding and modifying the properties of solids from the viewpoint of the fundamental physics of the atomic and electronic structure. Undergraduate and graduate programs in materials science and engineering are coordinated through the MSE Program in the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics. This program promotes the interdepartmental nature of the discipline and involves the Departments of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, and Earth and Environmental Engineering (EEE) in the Henry Krumb School of Mines (HKSM) with advisory input from the Departments of Chemistry and Physics. Students interested in materials science and engineering enroll in the engineering 2011–2012 materials science and engineering program in the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics. Those interested in the solid-state science and engineering specialty enroll in the doctoral program within Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics or Electrical Engineering. The faculty in the interdepartmental committee constitute but a small fraction of those participating in this program, who include Professors Bailey, Barmak, Billinge, Chan, Herman, Im, Marianetti, Noyan, and Pinczuk from Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics; Brus, Durning, Flynn, Koberstein, O’Shaughnessy, and Turro from Chemical Engineering; Duby, Somasundaran, and Themelis from EEE; Heinz, Osgood, and Wang from Electrical Engineering and Wong from Mechanical Engineering. Materials science and engineering uses optical, electron, and scanning probe microscopy and diffraction techniques to reveal details of structure, ranging from the atomic to the macroscopic scale—details essential to understanding properties such as mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and technical magnetism. These studies also give insight into problems of the deterioration of materials in service, enabling designers to prolong the useful life of their products. Materials science and engineering also focus on new ways to synthesize and process materials, from bulk samples to ultrathin films to epitaxial heterostructures to nanocrystals. This involves techniques such as UHV sputtering; molecular beam epitaxy; plasma etching; laser ablation, chemistry, and recrystallization; and other nonequilibrium processes. The widespread use of new materials and the new uses of existing materials in electronics, communications, and computers have intensified the demand for a systematic approach to the problem of relating properties to structure and necessitates a multidisciplinary approach. Solid-state science and engineering uses techniques such as transport measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, inelastic light scattering, luminescence, and nonlinear optics to understand electrical, optical, and magnetic properties on a quantum mechanical level. Such methods are used to investigate exciting new types of structures, such as two-dimensional electron gases in semiconductor heterostructures, superconductors, and semiconductor surfaces and nanocrystals.
Current Research Activities Current research activities in the materials science and engineering program at Columbia focus on thin films and electronic materials that enable significant advances in information technologies. Specific topics under investigation include interfaces, stresses, and grain boundaries in thin films; lattice defects and electrical properties of semiconductors; laser processing and ultrarapid solidification of thin films; nucleation in condensed systems; optical and electric properties of wideband semiconductors; synthesis of nanocrystals, carbon nanotubes, and nanotechnology-related materials; deposition, in-situ characterization, electronic testing, and ultrafast spectroscopy of magnetoelectronic ultrathin films and heterostructures. In addition, there is research in surface and colloid chemistry involving both inorganic and organic materials such as surfactants, polymers, and latexes, with emphasis on materials/environment interactions. The research activities in solid-state science and engineering are described later in this section. Laboratory Facilities Facilities and research opportunities also exist within the interdepartmental Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC), and Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC), which focus on complex films formed from nanoparticles, molecular electronics, and solar energy conversion, respectively. Modern clean room facilities with optical and e-beam lithography, thin film deposition, and surface analytical probes (STM, SPM, XPS) are available. More specialized equipment exists in individual research groups in solid state engineering and materials science and engineering. The research facilities in solid-state science and engineering are listed in the sections for each host department. Facilities, and research opportunities, also exist within the interdepartmental clean room, shared materials characterization laboratories, and electron microscopy facility. Undergraduate Program in materials science and engineEring This program provides the basis for developing, improving, and understanding materials and processes for electronic, structural, and other applications. It draws from physics, chemistry, and other disciplines to provide a coherent background for immediate application in engineering or for subsequent advanced study. The emphasis is on fundamentals relating atomic- to microscopic-scale phenomena to materials properties and processing, including design and control of industrially important materials processes. Core courses and electives combine rigor with flexibility and provide opportunities for focusing on such areas as electronic materials, polymers, ceramics, biomaterials, structural materials, and metals and mineral processing. There are also opportunities for combining materials science and engineering with interests in areas such as medicine, business, law, or government. The unifying theme of understanding and interrelating materials synthesis, processing, structure, and properties forms the basis of our MSE program and is evident in the undergraduate curriculum and in faculty research activities. These activities include work on polycrystalline silicon for flat panel displays; high-temperature superconductors for power transmission and sensors; semiconductors for laser and solar cell applications; magnetic heterostructures for information storage and novel computation architectures; electronic ceramics for batteries, gas sensors, and fuel cells; electrodeposition and corrosion of metals; and the analysis and design of high-temperature reactors. Through involvement with our research groups, students gain valuable hands-on experience and are often engaged in joint projects with industrial and government laboratories. The MSE undergraduate curriculum requires 16 courses in the third and fourth years, of which four are restricted electives. This program allows students to specialize in a subdiscipline of MSE if they so choose. Students must take twelve required courses and four electives. At least two electives must be in the Type A category, and at most two may be in the Type B category. The Type B electives are listed under different materials subdisciplines for guidance. Still, some courses listed under different categories may appeal to students interested in a given area. For example, CHEE E4252: Intro to surface and colloidal chemistry should also be considered by students interested in biomaterials and environmental materials. Type A electives are: CHEE E4530: Corrosion of metals MSAE E4207: Lattice vibrations and crystal defects MSAE E4250: Ceramics and composites ELEN E4944: Principles of device microfabrication Type B electives are: BIOMATERIALS BMEN E4300: Solid biomechanics BMEN E4301: Structure, mechanics, and adaptation of bone BMEN E4501: Tissue engineering, I ELECTRONIC MATERIALS APPH E3100: Intro to quantum mechanics APPH E3300: Applied electromagnetism APPH E4100: Quantum physics of matter APPH E4110: Modern optics ELEN E4301: Intro to semiconductor devices ELEN E4411: Fundamentals of photonics ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS EAEE E4001: Industrial ecology of Earth resources EAEE E4160: Solid and hazardous waste mgmt MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF MATERIALS ENME E3114: Experimental mechanics of solids ENME E4113: Advanced mechanics of solids ENME E4114: Mechanics of fracture and fatigue MECE E4608: Manufacturing processes SOFT MATERIALS AND SURFACES CHEE C3443: Organic chemistry (note that C3444 is not allowed) CHEE E4252: Intro to surface and colloid chemistry APMA E4400: Intro to biophysical modeling OTHER MSAE E3900: Undergrad research in materials science Alternative courses can be taken as electives with the approval of the undergraduate adviser. Of the 24 points of elective content in the third and fourth years, at least 12 points of restricted electives approved by the adviser must be taken. Of the remaining 12 points of electives allotted, a sufficient number must actually be taken so that no fewer than 64 points of courses are credited to the third and fourth years.
