CDP Researchers Create First Entropy-Stabilized Complex Oxide Alloys
Researchers from North Carolina State University and Duke University have created the first entropy-stabilized alloy that incorporates oxides – and demonstrated conclusively that the crystalline structure of the material can be determined by disorder at the atomic scale rather than chemical bonding.

CDP Researchers Measure How Specific Atoms Move in Dielectric Materials
Researchers have measured how the atoms within electrically insulating solids reorient due to an applied electric field. Shown here for Na1/2Bi1/2TiO3, bismuth ions (purple) align along the electric field direction relative to their … [Read more...]
CDP Develops New in situ XRD Capabilities
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new technique that enables the acquisition of diffraction data during the application of electric fields using a lab X-ray diffractometer. To read more about this exciting new … [Read more...]
New NSF Dielectrics Center Ties Research Efforts to Product Development
If you want to do research that solves problems facing global industries, it helps to form partnerships with the industries you want to help. That’s the idea behind the National Science Foundation’s new Center for Dielectrics and Piezoelectrics, … [Read more...]
Professor Dickey Represents MSE, NCSU at Exhibit for the U.S. Congress
On May 7, 2014, the 20th National Exhibition for the Coalition for National Science Funding was held in Washington, D.C. Professor Elizabeth Dickey, Director of the Center for Dielectrics and Piezoelectrics, represented both Materials Science & Engineering and NC State University at the event.
