CHEMISTRY OF INORGANIC MATERIALS

CHEM 900

Presentations of recent research in inorganic chemistry and related areas by external and internal speakers.

CHEM 653

Introduction to solid state materials chemistry, with an emphasis on contemporary topics in the chemistry of nanomaterials. Incorporates fundamental knowledge of solid-state chemistry and traditional materials chemistry with current nanoscale and nanostructural materials research.

MS&E 451

Primary objectives are to: 1) analyze how atoms and ions combine to form 3D crystals and glasses; 2) examine phase equilibria to understand the driving forces for the formation of particular ceramic phases; 3) introduce and discuss the nature of defects in ceramics; 4) discuss the migration of matter and of charge in ceramics; and 5) discuss properties and processing technologies of ceramics.

CHEM 511

Emphasizes the symmetry, structure and bonding of inorganic compounds. Selected topics may include applications in transition metal chemistry, organometallic chemistry, industrial catalysis, advanced bioinorganic chemistry, solid-state chemistry or main group chemistry.

CHEM 801

Various selected topics in contemporary inorganic chemistry.
