Maggard Group Laboratory

Solid State and Materials Chemistry Research

We apply the advanced scientific tools of solid state and materials chemistry to tackle current challenges in chemistry, physics, energy and engineering related areas.  Current project areas include metastable semiconductors, hybrid oxide/organic solids, low-dimensional structures and bonding and noncentrosymmetric materials, with students having the opportunity to learn advanced preparative methods (e.g., flux and hydrothermal synthesis), chemical and physical properties (e.g., catalysis and magnetometry), single crystal and powder X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic characterization techniques and electronic structure calculations using density functional theory methods on high-performance computing clusters.
