From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Solid-state chemistry is the study of solid materials, which may be molecular. Solid-state chemistry studies both the synthesis, the structure and the physical properties of solids. It therefore has a strong overlap with solid-state physics, mineralogy, crystallography, ceramics, metallurgy, thermodynamics, materials science and electronics with a focus on the synthesis of novel materials.

[edit] History

Because of its direct relevance to products of commerce, solid state inorganic chemistry has been strongly driven by technology well in advance of atomic-level descriptions or academic studies. 20th century landmarks included zeolite- and platinum-based catalysts for petroleum processing in the 1950’s, high-purity silicon as a core component of microelectronic devices in the 1960’s, and “high temperature” superconductivity in the 1980’s. The invention of X-ray crystallography in the early 1900's by Bragg was enabling.
