Chemical physics bridges the gap between physical and theoretical chemistry, as all three fields integrate principles from physics, mathematics, and chemistry. This interdisciplinary domain, especially in its instrumentation aspects, connects with numerous other specialties within the Department, such as analytical, environmental, and inorganic chemistry. Key research areas include: spin-polarized chemical probes (NMR, μSR, beta-NMR), molecular and collective interactions in condensed matter, nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic materials, advanced molecular and laser spectroscopy (including nonlinear techniques), ultracold chemistry through laser manipulation, single-molecule biophysical studies of mechanical and structural changes, cluster and nanoparticle spectroscopy, chemical reaction dynamics and rate processes, and foundational quantum chemistry applied to molecular systems.
