Christou Lab
Led by George Christou · Chemistry
What we study
The Christou Lab designs and makes tiny inorganic molecules and clusters of transition metals and lanthanides, studying how they behave as nanoscale magnets. They use laboratory synthesis and physical measurements to explore quantum effects like magnetic tunneling and to create molecular nanoparticles for catalysis.
