Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Hydrogen

His primary scientific interests are in Nucleation, Quasicrystal, Amorphous metal, Thermodynamics and Icosahedral symmetry. The various areas that he examines in his Nucleation study include Chemical physics, Devitrification, Crystallization, Statistical physics and Mineralogy. His Quasicrystal study is related to the wider topic of Crystallography.

His study in Crystallography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Alloy and Phase. His Amorphous metal research incorporates elements of Range and Glass transition. His Icosahedral symmetry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both X-ray crystallography and Optics.

His most cited work include:

  • Crystal Nucleation in Liquids and Glasses (542 citations)
  • First X-Ray Scattering Studies on Electrostatically Levitated Metallic Liquids: Demonstrated Influence of Local Icosahedral Order on the Nucleation Barrier (449 citations)
  • Transient nucleation in condensed systems (376 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Kenneth F. Kelton spends much of his time researching Quasicrystal, Crystallography, Nucleation, Icosahedral symmetry and Thermodynamics. His work carried out in the field of Quasicrystal brings together such families of science as Hydrogen storage, Hydrogen, X-ray crystallography, Metallurgy and Crystal. His Crystallography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Alloy, Zirconium alloy, Transmission electron microscopy and Phase.

His Nucleation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chemical physics, Devitrification, Crystallization, Cluster and Amorphous metal. His Amorphous metal study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Supercooling, Glass transition and Microstructure. His research in Icosahedral symmetry intersects with topics in Neutron diffraction, Diffraction, Laves phase, Transition metal and Condensed matter physics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Quasicrystal (32.85%)
  • Crystallography (32.13%)
  • Nucleation (31.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Thermodynamics (24.19%)
  • Supercooling (16.97%)
  • Amorphous metal (21.66%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Thermodynamics, Supercooling, Amorphous metal, Molecular dynamics and Glass transition. In the subject of general Thermodynamics, his work in Nucleation, Viscosity, Fragility and Crystallization is often linked to Electrostatic levitation, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Nucleation research includes themes of Silicate glass, Phase, Differential thermal analysis, Cluster and Crystal.

His work deals with themes such as Icosahedral symmetry, Phase space, Neutron scattering, Atmospheric temperature range and Analytical chemistry, which intersect with Supercooling. In his work, Crystal growth and Metallurgy is strongly intertwined with Quasicrystal, which is a subfield of Icosahedral symmetry. His Amorphous metal study results in a more complete grasp of Crystallography.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Connectivity of icosahedral network and a dramatically growing static length scale in Cu-Zr binary metallic glasses (122 citations)
  • A structural signature of liquid fragility (118 citations)
  • Proposal for universality in the viscosity of metallic liquids (64 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Thermodynamics
  • Oxygen

Kenneth F. Kelton mainly focuses on Supercooling, Amorphous metal, Glass transition, Fragility and Thermodynamics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Atmospheric temperature range and Analytical chemistry. His Amorphous metal research incorporates themes from Chemical physics, Crystallization, Structure factor and Molecular dynamics.

Kenneth F. Kelton has included themes like Icosahedral symmetry and Nanotechnology in his Chemical physics study. His research on Structure factor concerns the broader Crystallography. His Crystallography study incorporates themes from Radial distribution function and Diffraction.
