hysical Chemistry at UCLA is remarkably broad in scope. Research ranges from chemical dynamics at the heart of gas-phase and condensed-phase spectroscopy to surface science, to sel
f-assembly of nanoparticles, complex fluids
|
and inorganic-organic composites. The latter topics are at the interface with
inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, materials science, computer science
and physics. Work is carried out on a variety of exotic systems:
photo-activated redox couples, van der Waals clusters, Langmuir-Blodgett films and Langmuir
monolayers; foams; DNA and other macromolecules such as conjugated polymers; metal and
semiconducting quantum dots; mesoporous materials; metalceramic interfaces; semiconductor
and metal surfaces; and supercooled liquids. As a result, the physical chemists have
strong ties to other divisions in chemistry at UCLA, as well as many other departments in
physical science and engineering. Finally, there is a long-standing tradition of
collegiality and enthusiasm for research, which has led to many joint projects and
close collaborations among theorists and experimentalists. This provides a graduate
students with an usually flexible and superbly rich research experience.
