The emerging art of solid-state synthesis

Article Abstract:

Solid-state chemists are employing techniques used to produce multilayered films of semiconducting materials in solid-state synthesis. One project used molecular beam epitaxy to assemble superlattices of NbSe2 and TiSe2 layers.

Metastable dense semiconductor phases

Article Abstract:

Chia-Chun Chen's studies of solid-solid structural phase transitions in cadmium selenide nanocrystals suggest that the high-pressure phases may be metastable at standard temperature and pressure. The experiments are described.

Mechanochemistry

Article Abstract:

The shear strains supported by solids are the mechanism that triggers chemical reactions in solids. Shear stimulates chemical changes by changing the symmetry of a molecule and destabilizing its electronic structure.
