Pär Olsson

Pär Olsson is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Mechanics, Materials and Component Design within Lund University's Faculty of Engineering. His research focuses on atomistic-scale modeling of materials phenomena using both classical and quantum mechanical approaches.

• Research Areas: Intergranular fracture in tungsten alloys, adhesion between metal-oxides and polymers, phase stability of ultra-thin iron-oxide films, transgranular fracture in titanium and zirconium hydrides
• Subject Classification: Applied Mechanics, Condensed Matter Physics, Nanotechnology

Recent publications highlight his work in:

• Dynamic instability in sigma phase transition metal alloys
• Grain boundary interaction potentials
• Phase-field crystal modeling for elastic deformation
• Polarization in polyvinyl fluoride systems
• Neutron scattering laws for zirconium hydrides

He leads the research project Atomistic investigation of intergranular fracture in tungsten (2017-2023) with collaborators from Lund University.
