SIMES has four main areas of research that cover a remarkably diverse set of disciplines.
SIMES Areas of Research
X-ray Science and Techniques
Experimental and theoretical advancements of x-ray spectroscopy, scattering, and imaging techniques — offering unprecedented insights into charge dynamics in materials.
Quantum Materials
Addressing outstanding questions in the field of Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (CMMP) related to the collective behavior of strongly correlated and magnetic materials.
Interfaces and Catalysis for Energy Conversion and Storage
Investigating the mechanism and dynamics of catalytic reactions as well as designing and building catalysts using novel synthesis methods that provide higher efficiency and selectivity.
Carbon-Based and Biomimetic Hybrid Materials
Exploring how organic materials together with the inorganic materials that are traditionally used can help solve society’s needs for more energy efficiency and computational power.
