Professor Kivelson is supported by a grant from The                          Experimental Physical Chemistry Program to study molecular                      motions in liquids using both experimental and theoretical                      approaches.  Particular emphasis is placed on the study of                      supercooled liquids as they approach the glass transition                       temperature, and liquid systems undergoing chemical reaction.                                                                                                      As supercooled liquids approach the glass transition                         temperature they become very viscous, and relaxation processes                  become slow and more complex than for low viscosity fluids at                   higher temperatures.  Professor Kivelson's research group is                    studying the behavior of small molecules and polymer solutions                  near the glass transition temperature.  In addition, other                      studies are aimed at understanding the motion of reacting                       groups through surrounding fluid and across activation barriers                 for chemical reactions.  This area of research is of                            fundamental importance to the study of chemical reactions in                    the liquid phase.                                                                                                                                                  The common theoretical framework for understanding these                     phenomena consists of a correlation function description of                     generalized hydrodynamics.  The primary experimental technique                  used by Kivelson's group to study these molecular motions is                    quasielastic light scattering.
