The X-ray Crystallography Facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art Bruker AXS D8 Venture single crystal X-ray diffractometer. The diffractometer is equipped with four-axis Kappa goniometer, a Photon 100 detector for shutterless data collection and a dual micro-source configuration (Mo, Cu). The diffractometer is used for structure determination of single crystals and can also be used for powder diffraction. The Surface Analysis facility is equipped with Kratos Nova Axis X-ray photoelectron spectrometer and a FEI Quant 250 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is used to analyze the surface chemistry of a solid material. The material can be a powder (e.g. nanomaterials) or a film (organic polymers, inorganic compounds, paints, ink, etc.) deposit on substrates like gold, glass or on a Si wafer. Electron scanning microscopy is a technique used for characterization of micro and nanostructured materials with X-ray spectroscopic capabilities. The Mass Spectrometry Facility offers mass spec analysis with a variety of instruments and ionisation techniques, including electron impact (EI), chemical ionisation (CI), fast atom bombardment (FAB), field desorption (FD), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI) and electrospray ionisation (ESI). For further details see our website. Also available is an Ultra Mass 700 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. Other spectroscopic equipment includes a Bruker RFS-100 FT-Raman spectrometer; Bruker IFS-25 and Bomem MB-120 FT ...

Entry requirements
Calendar entry for this degree: The Ph.D. program usually requires at least six module lecture courses (each equivalent to one-half of a term course) or the equivalent of three term lecture courses beyond the Bachelor's degree plus CHEM 801 Safety in the Laboratory, CHEM 802 Chemistry Seminar Program , CHEM 803 Principles of Scientific Communication , a candidacy examination, a research seminar, and the completion of a thesis based on independent research. Unless permission is obtained from the supervisor and the coordinator of graduate studies at least two modules (excluding CHEM 801 Safety in the Laboratory, CHEM 802 Chemistry Seminar Program and CHEM 803 Principles of Scientific Communication ) must be from among those offered by the Department of Chemistry. Students registered in a Ph.D. program in Applied Sciences/Engineering are required to complete eight module lecture courses (or the equivalent of four term lecture courses) beyond the Master's requirements including CHEM 803 Principles of Scientific Communication , unless already completed, a candidacy examination, a research seminar, and the completion of a thesis based on independent research. Unless permission is obtained from the supervisor and coordinator of graduate studies at least two modules (excluding CHEM 801, CHEM 802 and CHEM 803 ) must be from among those offered by the Department of Chemistry. Students must pass departmental safety and Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) training at the earliest possible opportunity. || General graduate admission is governed by the School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs: applicants normally need a four-year bachelor's degree (or a master's for doctoral entry), official transcripts and two letters of recommendation, and must meet the minimum scores set by the individual program.

- ScholarshipsFinancial assistance as published for this program: The Department of Chemistry offers support for each full-time student during the first two years in a Master's program and the first four years in a Doctoral program. TThe current minimum is $27,030 (MSc) / $28,152 (PhD) for Canadian and international students per annum. This financial support can come from a variety of sources and can differ from student to student. These sources include: supervisor research grant support (GRF); external scholarships support (NSERC, OGS); Graduate Teaching Assistantships (TA); Research Assistantships (RA) and internal scholarship support., derived from university scholarships and research and teaching assistantships. Students who hold scholarships and awards will receive a top-up in addition to the minimum stipend. Students who are successful in competition for Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council Scholarships or other major awards may augment these awards considerably by working as a teaching assistant in the Department.
