Functional Properties Group

Welcome

The Functional Properties Group develops and disseminates measurement science, measurement standards, and measurement technology pertaining to the measurement of all functional properties of advanced materials and devices, including chemical, electrical, thermal, optical, and magnetic properties. The Group also determines and disseminates key data needed to establish the relationships between structure, functional properties, and performance of inorganic and hybrid materials and devices. The activities of the Functional Properties Group are carried out in three project areas: Combinatorial Measurement Methods, Nanocalorimetry, and Thermoelectric Measurements and Standards.

Programs/Projects

Diffraction Metrology and Standards—Our objective is the development of Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) and quantitative, reproducible, and accurate measurement methods for characterization of any structure possessing spatial …

Carbon Mitigation Measurements—The global environmental problems caused by emission of CO2 (global warming, rising sea levels and increased acidity of oceans) must be abated. New solid sorbent materials are sought for CO2 …
