Physical Chemistry
The Physical Chemistry Division conducts experimental and theoretical
research in a wide range of areas: spectroscopic investigations of
nanoscale and magnetic materials; physical mechanisms for the production
of chirality; x-ray and neutron spectroscopy of surfaces and materials;
reaction dynamics and quantum chemistry; optical and electron
spectroscopies; thermodynamics, computer simulation, and interfacial
control of polymers; and film growth and surface chemistry. Many of our
students and faculty are also involved in the synthesis and investigation
of new materials. Research in physical, theoretical, and computational
chemistry is carried out with students and postdoctoral fellows as well
as a growing list of collaborators within the department, at Oak Ridge
National Laboratory, and throughout the world.
