• Engineering Diffraction is the study of mechanics of materials using neutron and X-ray diffraction techniques.

• EngDiff employs advanced characterization methods that probe materials at multiple length scales: from the nanoscale all the way to the macroscale (the bulk average).

• Most EngDiff experiments can be done in situ with simultaneous application of various environmental conditions: stress/strain, temperature, controlled atmosphere, electric field, etc.

• This site offers software, databases, links to experimental facilities, etc. related to EngDiff.

• It is work in progress and started with the DANSE project which is funded by the National Science Foundation (grant no. DMR-0520547).

• EngDiff team who maintains this site: Seung-Yub Lee, Youngshin Kim and Ersan Ustundag at Iowa State University.  If you have any questions or remarks about this site, please contact E. Ustundag.
