Research Interests
Physical Inorganic and Materials Chemistry. Current work is largely in the area of solid-state electronic and
ionic conducting materials, and attempts to achieve useful optical and
electronic properties through an understanding of the fundamental contributing
effects. An example is the attempt to obtain nearly-free-electron (metallic)
behavior in metal oxide bronzes and other intercalation compounds, in both bulk
and thin-film materials. Synthesis of new materials and the characterization of
their electronic, structural, and transport properties is the major goal of the
work. To this end, we use optical spectroscopic (UV-VIS, NIR, IR) and magnetic
measurements to probe electronic ground state structures, single crystal and
powder X-ray diffraction to investigate crystallography and conductivity,
Hall-effect measurements to probe electronic transport, and electrochemical
means to investigate thermodynamic properties and kinetics of ionic motion.
