Physical
Research in Physical Chemistry / Chemical Physics at Penn State encompasses a broad range areas including fundamental aspects of gas-phase clusters and nanocomposites, liquids, surfaces, and solid-state materials. This research utilizes advanced instrumentation such as ultra-high vacuum methods, solid-state NMR and ultra-fast spectroscopies, and scanning probe microscopies. Strong ties link most of this research to theoretical and computational research, as well as with other interest areas such as materials and nanotechnology programs.
