Solid state chemistry

For thoughtful child sponsors

Solid-state chemistry is the study of solid materials, which may be molecular. Solid-state chemistry studies both the synthesis, the structure and the physical properties of solids. It therefore has a strong overlap with solid-state physics, mineralogy, crystallography, ceramics, metallurgy, thermodynamics, materials science and electronics with a focus on the synthesis of novel materials.
