Chemical Physics Minor

Chemical physics focuses on research areas where the techniques of chemistry and physics are combined for the study of atoms and molecules; their interactions in gases, liquids, and solids, and the detailed structure and dynamics of material changes. Areas of research and specialization include spectroscopy, molecular collisions, chemical dynamics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, low-temperature behavior, polymers and macromolecules, surface science, and biochemical and heterogeneous catalysis.
