1. We investigate the role of structural (polymorphous transformation), chemical (solute clusters) and structural/chemical defects (solute rich and lean f.c.c. nanocrystals) at the nm-scale on corrosion. One examples is the study of nanocrystals: Nanocrystals in an amorphous matrix covered by a chemically homogeneous oxide [1] Theoretical effects of isolated nanoscale particles of copper including bonding-coordination effects and quantum size effects [2] Solute lean nanocrystal with a protective compositional field [3] in the remaining amorphous matrix around them [3] CORROSION MECHANISMS IN AMORPHOUS ALLOYS: CRITICAL COMPOSITIONAL AND STRUCTURAL DEFECTS FOR LOCAL CORROSION J CORROSION MECHANISMS IN AMORPHOUS ALLOYS: CRITICAL COMPOSITIONAL AND STRUCTURAL DEFECTS FOR LOCAL CORROSION John R.

2. Corrosion Education  3 Undergraduates (J. Biddick, L. Stohr, G. Burke), 5 graduate students (Ashley Lucente, Meghan Goldman, Tomo Aburada, Nicki Tailleart, Derek Horton), and 2 post-doctoral researchers (Chris Taylor and Ruoshuang Huang) have contributed to NSF-supported project.  Graduate, undergraduate, and traveling short courses in corrosion.  John R.
