MSE Seminar : “Semiconducting Materials for Opto/Bioelectronic Applications; Chemistry, Processing and Device Engineering” Antonio Facchetti – Georgia Institute of Technology
In this presentation we report the realization of novel semiconductor materials, as well as thin-film processing and morphology engineering, for flexible and stretchable organic electronic devices such as thin film […]
MSE Seminar: “Quantum Technologies with Atom-Light Interaction” Chuanwei Zhang – Washington University in St. Louis
From knotted cords to contemporary computers, the revolution in information technologies has been a major driving force of human civilization. Since its emergence in the early 1900s, quantum mechanics has […]
MSE David P. Pope Distinguished Lecture: Ion Migration and Its Impact on the Stability of Halide Perovskite Solar Cells – Prashant Kamat – University of Notre Dame
The ability to tune the bandgap of metal halide perovskites by alloying different halide ions is key to advancing tandem solar cells and light-emitting displays. However, this compositional flexibility also […]
CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Designing Solvent-Based Order Parameters for Characterizing Binding of Surfaces with Different Hydrophobicity Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations” (Jun Lu)
Abstract: Life is dependent on water: most self-assembly and binding processes of biomolecules take place in water. Water-mediated interactions are an essential driving force behind these processes, which is largely […]
LRSM Seminar: “Expanding Our Vision of Glasses: Physical Vapor Deposition Prepares Ultrastable and Anisotropic Materials”
Glasses are generally regarded as disordered and the idea of “controlling” molecular packing in glasses is reasonably met with skepticism. However, as glasses are non-equilibrium materials, a vast array of […]
MSE Seminar: “Tuning Nanostructured Materials for Combustion Applications” (Kerri-lee A. Chintersingh, Ph.D., New Jersey Institute of Technology)
Metals powders like aluminum and boron are attractive potential fuel additives for pyrotechnics, propellants and explosives due to their high energy release upon oxidation. However, they tend to agglomerate, have […]
MSE Seminar: “Color From Colorless Materials: Harnessing Multi-reflection Interference in Microstructures”
Many of the colors found in nature, such as those of iridescent, color-shifting organisms like beetles, butterflies, and birds, are structural colors. Structural coloration is often generated by optical interference […]
