Research in
physical chemistry at Michigan is aimed at developing a comprehensive
and fundamental understanding of chemical phenomena, building
on a solid foundation in quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics,
and chemical kinetics. Current faculty efforts involve the design
and application of novel theoretical and experimental methods,
from the use of EXAFS, EPR, and solid-state and solution NMR spectroscopies,
to the development of theoretical and computational models; from
the employment of ultra-high vacuum surface science techniques
to the application of microwave, X-ray, gamma-ray, and ultrafast
laser spectroscopy. The ubiquitous nature of chemistry leads to
exploration in a diverse range of areas, including the study of
critical phenomena, non-linear systems, complexity theory, and
the excitations and chemical processes that occur at surfaces,
in nanostructures, in low-dimensional solids, in the atmosphere,
in isolated small molecules and clusters, and in biological systems.
