Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Metallurgy

William L. Johnson mostly deals with Amorphous metal, Metallurgy, Glass transition, Composite material and Thermodynamics. His Amorphous metal research incorporates themes from Crystallization, Supercooling and Analytical chemistry. His Crystallization research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Chemical physics, Atmospheric temperature range and Nucleation.

His research integrates issues of Differential scanning calorimetry and Nanocrystalline material in his study of Metallurgy. His Glass transition research incorporates elements of Porous glass, Vickers hardness test, Condensed matter physics, Transition temperature and Atomic diffusion. His work on Eutectic system as part of general Alloy research is frequently linked to Electrostatic levitation, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • A highly processable metallic glass: Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 (2134 citations)
  • Bulk Glass-Forming Metallic Alloys: Science and Technology (2091 citations)
  • Microstructure controlled shear band pattern formation and enhanced plasticity of bulk metallic glasses containing in situ formed ductile phase dendrite dispersions (1241 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Amorphous metal, Metallurgy, Amorphous solid, Composite material and Crystallization. William L. Johnson has included themes like Analytical chemistry, Supercooling, Thermodynamics and Glass transition in his Amorphous metal study. His Glass transition research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Melting point and Liquidus.

As a part of the same scientific family, William L. Johnson mostly works in the field of Metallurgy, focusing on Nanocrystalline material and, on occasion, Grain size and Grain boundary. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Quenching, Transmission electron microscopy, Condensed matter physics and Intermetallic. His Crystallization study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Isothermal process, Differential scanning calorimetry, Eutectic system and Nucleation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Amorphous metal (68.72%)
  • Metallurgy (35.44%)
  • Amorphous solid (30.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Amorphous metal (68.72%)
  • Composite material (26.94%)
  • Metallurgy (35.44%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Amorphous metal, Composite material, Metallurgy, Toughness and Glass transition. Amorphous solid and Alloy are the subject areas of his Amorphous metal study. In his research, Hypervelocity is intimately related to Spacecraft, which falls under the overarching field of Composite material.

The Metallurgy study combines topics in areas such as Ferromagnetism and Analytical chemistry. William L. Johnson works mostly in the field of Toughness, limiting it down to topics relating to Ductility and, in certain cases, Deformation. The concepts of his Glass transition study are interwoven with issues in Chemical physics and Phase transition, Crystallization, Shear modulus, Thermodynamics.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A damage-tolerant glass. (428 citations)
  • Bulk metallic glass matrix composites (324 citations)
  • Beating crystallization in glass-forming metals by millisecond heating and processing. (150 citations)

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

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Metallurgy

William L. Johnson mainly focuses on Amorphous metal, Toughness, Composite material, Metallurgy and Amorphous solid. Amorphous metal is a subfield of Alloy that William L. Johnson explores. The various areas that William L. Johnson examines in his Toughness study include Fatigue limit, Fracture toughness, Shear and Matrix.

His work on Microstructure, Composite number, Molding and Casting as part of general Composite material study is frequently linked to Liquid nitrogen, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work deals with themes such as Shear flow, Shear modulus, Bearing and Analytical chemistry, which intersect with Metallurgy. His Amorphous solid research integrates issues from Chromatography and Mass fraction.
