Timothy A. Su on Sila-Diamondoids
Timothy A. Su on Sila-Diamondoids
Professor Timothy A. Su, University of California Riverside “Sila-Diamondoids: Atomically Precise Nanoclusters of Crystalline Silicon” This talk will describe the synthesis, derivatization, and quantum transport properties of silicon diamondoids—atomically precise clusters of crystalline silicon. First, we describe strategies for the synthesis and functionalization of the fundamental silicon diamondoid cluster, sila-adamantane. Mechanistic insights support that an […]

Professor Robert Continetti
Professor Robert Continetti, University of California San Diego “Transition State Dynamics and Hypervelocity Ice Grain Impact Mass Spectrometry” Review studies using the photodetachment of precursor negative ions to examine the transition state dynamics of hydroxyl radical reactions. In cases where the anion has a geometry similar to the transition-state region for a bimolecular neutral reaction, […]

Atomic-scale insights into electrocatalyst structure and function
Atomic-scale insights into electrocatalyst structure and function
Professor Anthony Shoji Hall, Johns Hopkins University “Atomic-scale Insights into Electrocatalyst Structure and Function” ABSTRACT: The development of efficient renewable energy conversion and storage devices to curb climate change is one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. This can be addressed by using renewable electricity to manufacture chemical fuels and synthetic precursors, or […]
