Welcome to the home page of the WVU Lewis Group in the Department of Physics at West Virginia University. This group is headed by Prof. James P. Lewis.

Our research interests cover a broad range of materials and phenomena, including:

band structures and electronic properties of metal-oxide
semiconductor, nanoparticles, and nanotubes
electronic structures and properties of bio-molucars and bio-catalysts
molecular-surface interaction
energy exchange processes
photo-catalysis reactions

1,3,5-Trinitroperhydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX, or royal demolition explosive) is a compound that is used in many nitramine explosive mixtures, such as C4. RDX is mostly stable at room temperature and is shock insensitive.

10th Annual Industries of the Future - West Virginia Day
Saving energy, reducing greenhouse gases, saving and creating jobs will top the agenda Tuesday (Jan. 26) as several West Virginia University faculty members and industry colleagues head to Charleston for the 10th Annual Industries of the Future-West Virginia Day in the Capitol.

Physics Professor James Lewis will present an innovative technology that he and Chemistry Assistant Professor Michael Shi are developing to capture carbon dioxide and convert it into methanol using sunlight.
Fireball requests not currently being accepted
We have seen a lot of interest in obtaining Fireball for personal use. However, we feel that the program is not yet ready for widespread distribution. Therefore, we will not be fulfilling requests for Fireball at this time. We thank everyone who has been interested in Fireball so far and ask for your patience as we continue to refine it into a worthwhile tool. Please feel free to fill out the request form, and we will contact you when fireball is ready to be released.
