CHEM 333 (Inorganic Materials Chemistry) focuses on the fundamentals of the synthesis, structure and properties of inorganic solids, thin films, and nanoscale materials, to be complemented with case studies of modern applications of inorganic materials; selected topics such as catalysis, molecular and nanoparticle-based computing, telecommunications, alternative energies, superconductivity, biomedical technologies, and information storage will be discussed. Techniques for characterization and analysis of materials on the nano and atomic level will be introduced.

Fundamental Learning Objectives
Fundamental Learning Objectives
Students will have the opportunity to become proficient in the following areas:
apply powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and IR, UV-vis and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies to the characterization of inorganic materials;
be able to solve problems independently, write mature routine laboratory reports, and be able to write a lab report in a format similar to a literature publication.
continue to demonstrate an ongoing adherence to professional laboratory practices;
be able to perform independent lab work without need to be given direct instructions;
be able to multi-task and work on more than one activity at a time;
continue to demonstrate proficiency in advanced benchtop preparative techniques, specifically those important to the field of materials chemistry.
These skills will be beneficial as you move forward through your degree and into your careers.
