Our research interests include the development of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques and their application to the study of structure and dynamics in the solid-state. One area of research centers on elucidating the extent of intermediate-range ordering in covalent amorphous solids, e.g., silicate glasses and related materials. Multi-dimensional NMR techniques are employed to separate the continuous distribution of overlapping NMR lineshapes that arise in a disordered material. The separated lineshapes can then be analyzed and used to quantify the continuous structural distribution can be an indispensable tool in developing and refining structural models of many technologically important materials.
