CMD Network The Computational Materials Data Network (CMD Network) was launched in 2012 to support the materials data community in its pursuit of the goals of the U.S. Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and the promise of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME). Drawing on ASM’s knowledge and experience gathering, curating, and distributing materials data, CMD Network […]

Microscopy charges ahead
Polarization charges in ferroelectric materials are screened by equal amounts of surface charges with opposite polarity under ambient conditions. Researchers from the Center for Nanoscale Materials, Argonne’s Nanoscience & Technology and Materials Science divisions (Argonne, Ill.), and Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan), have shown that scraping, collecting, and quantifying surface screen charges reveals the underlying polarization domain structure at high speed, a technique dubbed charge gradient microscopy (CGM).
