Novel Materials Laboratory

Department of Physics and Department of Chemistry, Boston University

Welcome

Welcome to the home page of the Novel Materials Laboratory at Boston University.  The  lab is affiliated with both the Department of Physics and the Department of Chemistry at BU.  Our interdisciplinary experimental research involves the use of x-ray spectroscopies to study the electronic properties on a wide variety of materials, of both fundamental scientific importance, and technical significance.  All our experiments involve the use of synchrotron radiation light sources, and  we run our experiments at facilities in New York, California, and Sweden. 

On this site you will find information about our research projects, our experimental techniques, our recent scientific publications, how to contact us, and information about the current and former members of our group.
