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

These nanotubes are constructed out of amino acids - the same class of chemicals that play an important role in DNA creation within your own body.

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.
WVU HPC
Did you know that West Virginia University has a High-Performance Computing initiative? The WVU HPC's home page is currently located at http://fireball.phys.wvu.edu/HPC/. Take a look if you're interested.
FIREBALL Request form available
The request for access to FIREBALL data is now available. If you would like to request access to FIREBALL binaries and Fdata, please use this form and our FIREBALL contact will respond as soon as possible.
