  1. CAREER: Flux Synthesis of Heterometallic RhenatesPaul A. Maggard, North Carolina State University, DMR 0644833 Molten-salt flux synthesis provides new routes to control metal-oxide particle sizes and microstructures via selection of the amount and type of flux, reaction time and temperature, and also cooling rates. Scanning electron microscopy images of flux-synthesized particles of A2BReO6 ( A = Sr, Ba; B = Cr, Re) particles (left) and their magnetic hysteresis (right). The achievement of high-purity, homogeneous, and tunable distributions of particle sizes via flux syntheses has resulted in a deeper understanding of magnetoresistance properties of metal oxides in polycrystalline forms.

  2. CAREER: Flux Synthesis of Heterometallic RhenatesPaul A. Maggard, North Carolina State University, DMR 0644833 Broader Impacts: Education and Training in Solid-State Chemistry Professional Training and Research Experience Graduate students: David Arney, Lindsay Fuoco, Xiaomeng Wu, Olena Palasyuk Undergraduate students: Tom Celano, Dianny Rodriguez (Summer), Tylan Watkins (Summer), • Planning of a 6-8 week experimental component of a new undergraduate laboratory on the topic of optical properties and photocatalysis of metal oxides, with collaborative testing by Ana Ison (faculty). Undergraduate research student Tom Celano and a new single-crystal X-ray diffractometer that is ready for use in the new advanced undergraduate materials synthesis laboratory (CH444). • Coordinated the procurement and installation of major equipment for planned use in the advanced undergraduate materials synthesis laboratory, including single-crystal X-ray diffraction, FT-IR with ATR accessory, and BET surface area.
