Biography

I. C. Noyan has been studying the mechanical response of crystalline materials over various length scales since 1978. He was one of the first researchers to combine the theory of micromechanics with that of x-ray and neutron diffraction. He and his group also work on extending x-ray characterization techniques for bulk structures to microdomains, with particular emphasis on ULSI chip structures. They have designed and built a microdiffraction system based on focusing capillary optics and monochromatic radiation on the X-20 beamline of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS). It was successfully used to determine the evolution of stress gradients in electromigration structures at very low current densities. It was also used to analyze dislocation distributions and lattice rotations in SiGe films on a local scale. The microbeam effort is now being extended to the quantification of finite size effects in thin film structures, and is being pursued at NSLS and the Advanced, Photon Source.
