Inorganic chemistry and material science

What are we doing?

At the group we work on problem orientated research in the field of inorganic chemistry, solid state chemistry and material science. Our main activities are:

• New inorganic materials with special properties
• New organic/inorganic hybrid materials
• Thin films of electronically and optically active materials
• Phase transformations and their thermodynamics
• Redox-reactions in solid materials
• Stabilization of fractional valence states
• Experimental and theoretical studies on material stability

Why are we doing it?

The goal for the scientific activity is to:

• Gain better understanding of fundamental properties of solid materials
• Relate physical properties to structural parameters; to relate stability to microscopic parameters
• Obtain knowledge on how fundamental properties for chemical materials can be used for enhancement of material properties
• Produce materials with special, desirable properties, and to develop methods to modify material properties with chemical and/or physical means

How do we do it?

The group is equipped with facilities and involved in collaboration that makes us able to:

• Synthese materials and grow crystals
• Produce nano-scale materials
• Study reactions, transformations and phase diagrams
• Determin the atomic arrangement
• Determin the magnetic ordering and properties
• Study transformations under high pressure and temperature
• Do calorimetric determination of thermodynamic properties
• Study electronic transport properties
• Study electronic structure theoretically
