CHEMICAL PHYSICS PROGRAM

Co-Directors: J. L. Musfeldt and R. N. Compton

Chemical Physics is an exciting and interdisciplinary area of science lying midway between the traditional fields of Chemistry and Physics. Although interdisciplinary in character, the field of Chemical Physics is quite broad, covering everything from elementary excitations in atoms, to the theory of weakly bond complexes, to nanoscience and technology involving novel materials. Chemical Physicists tend to focus on solving complex problems, using a variety of experimental and theoretical techniques from different areas of science to understand the fundamental properties of nature.
