We are a research group in the
Department of Chemistry and
Biochemistry at Florida State
University with a collaborative research program at the
University of California - Santa Barbara in the Mitsubishi Chemical
Center for Advanced Materials (MCCAM).
We represent a highly diversified research program in materials
science with a principle focus in the application of nanometer-scale
materials in electronics, magnetism, optical-sensing, and bio-material
science. The internationally recognized program integrates the
synthesis, optical, and magnetic spectroscopic analysis of novel
materials below 10 nm in size. A special focus on magnetism,
novel synthetic methodology, development of analytical methods
of analysis (XAFS, Mass Spectrometry, optical, vibrational),
and bio-material integration are at the core of the program.

The forefront of science today exists
at the boundaries of many of the traditional fields of chemistry.
This is particularly true in the area of dimensionally
confined solid state materials. The technology of "small
matter" holds enormous potential in sensor technologies, and
optical, electronic, and magnetic applications. However, for
a successful development of nanotechnology, many key challenges
in nanoscience must be tackled and a number of fundamental problems
must be scientifically explored and solved. |
