Dr. Robert Magruder, professor and chair of the Chemistry & Physics Department, recently had a paper accepted for publication. The paper is titled “New Intrinsic Oxygen Related Defect Bands in Oxygen Implanted Silica” and will be published in the Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, a journal on the chemical, electronic, optical and mechanical properties of glasses, amorphous semiconductors and metals, sol-gel materials, the liquid state of these solids and the processes by which they are formed.
