Inorganic and Materials Chemistry |
| The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at ASU has a long
established tradition for research and scholarly activity in inorganic,
solid state and materials chemistry. Research expertise spans numerous
areas including transition metal and main group chemistry, solid state
chemistry, synthetic and applied materials chemistry, amorphous
materials, bioinorganic chemistry, and computational modeling. An
extensive selection of graduate level courses in inorganic and
materials synthesis and characterization is available within the
department and throughout the college.
The department and college houses an extensive range of facilities for
materials structure and properties characterization including single
crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, electron and ion beam
microprobes, solid state NMR, and optical spectroscopy. The Department
is a founding member of the Center for Solid State Science, established
in 1977, which is home of one of the world's finest facilities for high
resolution electron microscopy and the nano-scale characterization of
the structure and chemistry of solids. The Department also houses a
world recognized facility for high-pressure and high-temperature
synthesis of new materials.
Research in inorganic and materials chemistry at ASU is highly
collaborative. Graduate students typically interact with faculty from
numerous groups from throughout the university, as well
as, with scientists from other institutions. The masters and doctoral
degree programs are focused toward research, encouraging students to
develop the knowledge, insight, and skills required of innovative and
independent scientists in industry, academia, and government.
