About

John B. Parise is a distinguished Toll Professor in the Department of Geosciences at Stony Brook University. He is a mineralogist and solid-state chemist whose research interests focus on materials synthesis, the structure of liquids, nano-crystalline, and amorphous materials, particularly under extreme conditions relevant to energy and nuclear applications. Parise directs the US-DOE Energy Frontier Research Center - GENESIS, which emphasizes synthesis science and understanding reaction pathways and products through in situ studies at lab-based and synchrotron sources. He also leads the Joint Photon Sciences Institute, supporting the development and application of X-ray methods for materials characterization. His group investigates the atomic arrangements in disordered materials such as liquids, melts, and glassy substances, with a focus on their behavior under high pressure, temperature, and chemical gradients. Parise's work includes studying the structure of molten UO2, a primary nuclear fuel, using advanced high-temperature, atmosphere-controlled levitation and laser heating techniques, and in situ x-ray diffraction at major national laboratories. His research aims to improve models predicting the properties of nuclear materials at extreme conditions, contributing to nuclear safety and energy research. Parise's contributions extend to understanding the structure and dynamics of complex oxide melts and their response to environmental changes, with implications for energy…

  ACS Materials Letters · 2021 · 22 citations

  Short-lived reaction intermediates play a critical role in mediating material synthesis. Such short-lived species often elude characterization because of the mismatch between the time scale of measurements capable of describing them and their lifetimes. Thus, we have limited ability to probe, understand, and control the mechanism for material synthesis. Here we demonstrate a new approach to in situ X-ray pair distribution function (PDF) measurements of dynamic nanomaterials structure that yields…

• Structural, Vibrational, and Electronic Properties of 1D-TlInTe₂ under High Pressure: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study

  Inorganic Chemistry · 2021-06-21 · 15 citations

  articleOpen access

  Analogous to 2D layered transition-metal dichalcogenides, the TlSe family of quasi-one dimensional chain materials with the Zintl-type structure exhibits novel phenomena under high pressure. In the present work, we have systematically investigated the high-pressure behavior of TlInTe2 using Raman spectroscopy, synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transport measurements, in combination with first principles crystal structure prediction (CSP) based on evolutionary approach. We found that TlInT…

• Enhanced Formation of Solvent-Shared Ion Pairs in Aqueous Calcium Perchlorate Solution toward Saturated Concentration or Deep Supercooling Temperature and Its Effects on the Water Structure

  The Journal of Physical Chemistry B · 2019-10-22 · 14 citations

  articleOpen accessSenior author

  As a candidate of Martian salts, calcium perchlorate [Ca(ClO4)2] has the potential to stabilize liquid water on the Martian surface because of its hygroscopicity and low freezing temperature when forming aqueous solution. These two properties of electrolytes in general have been suggested to result from the specific cation–anion–water interaction (ion pairing) that interrupts the structure of solvent water. To investigate how this concentration-dependent and temperature-dependent ion pairing pro…
