The McCall laboratory will be fully equipped for solid-state synthesis, single crystal growth, and solution chemistry, as well as the structural, optical, and electronic characterization of materials. Students in our laboratory will also have access to a variety of advanced characterization tools hosted both at UTD as well as at external user facilities such as Argonne National Laboratory.
