Research Interests
The major goal of our research is to identify new inorganic materials that will show potentially interesting chemical and physical properties by coupling theoretical efforts with experimental approaches. During the past 12 years, we have concentrated on intermetallic compounds because not only are they well suited for combined theoretical/experimental investigations, but they still offer fundamental challenges towards fundamental understanding of the relationships among chemical composition, atomic structure, physical properties and chemical bonding.
