Research Background
Wayne Lukens is currently investigating the
radiation chemistry of technetium. His background is synthetic
inorganic chemistry with an emphasis on physical techniques
especially gas sorption, NMR and EPR spectroscopies, X-ray
diffraction, and EXAFS spectroscopy. He has extensive experience
in the synthesis and electronic and structural characterization
of air-sensitive inorganic complexes. He has experience in
the synthesis and pore size control of mesoporous inorganic
materials. He has extensive experience in the gas sorption
studies of pore structure.
