In this course, students will review requirements to achieve candidacy. They will use Design Thinking to strategize how to meet these requirements successfully. Using Design Thinking, students will also develop an individual development plan for their graduate career and beyond. Throughout the semester, students will practice effective scientific writing and presentations.

The Materials Chemistry Colloquium is a seminar/discussion-based course with weekly presentations focuses on chemical approaches to solving current problems in materials science.

Microwave, infrared, Raman, visible and ultra-violet spectra and structure. Molecular geometry from rotational spectra, normal coordinate analysis, anharmonicity and dissociation, hindered rotors, crystals, intensities and charge flux, vibrational dichroism, non-linear inelastic light scattering.

Techniques and applications of spin re-sonance spectroscopy, NMR, esr, nqr. Bloch equations, relaxation effects, chem-ical exchange, quadrupolar effects, solid state NMR, multidimensional NMR, Over-hauser effect and the analysis of complex spectra. Emphasis on biological or polymer applications depending on instructor. Prerequisite: CHEM 476 or equivalent, or consent of instructor.
