Libai Huang, Purdue University

Chemistry-Seminars Materials Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Libai Huang, Purdue University  TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In-Person Seminar Imaging Exciton Transport and Quantum Interactions with Ultrafast Microscopy by Libai Huang, Purdue University Abstract: At the most fundamental level, transport of energy carriers (such as electrons and excitons) in the solid state is determined by their wavefunctions and the interactions with the lattices and the environment. Wave properties of these particles have profound consequences in their transport. The key difficulties in probing transport in the quantum regime in real materials lie in the fast (picosecond or shorter) dephasing processes and the nanoscale localization lengths. Thus, to image the motion of excitons in their natural (quantum) time and length scales, experimental approaches combining spatial and temporal resolutions are necessary. To address this challenge, my research group has developed the combined use of optical microscopy and ultrafast… Event Categories: Seminars. Campus Locations: Thatcher Chemistry Building (TBBC).

Tucker Carrington, Queen's University

Chemistry-Seminars Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Tucker Carrington, Queen's University  Exceptionally accurate ro-vibrational energy levels and tunnelling splittings of water dimer by Tucker Carrington, Queen's University  Abstract: We have used (contracted) basis functions that incorporate coupling between inter-molecular coordinates and coupling between intra-molecular coordinates and an iterative eigensolver to compute many energy levels of water dimer (a 12-D problem). The water monomers are completely flexible. We solve the full problem in a basis of products of intramolecular and inter-molecular functions. Intra-molecular coordinates specify the shape of the monomers and intermolecular coordinates specify the relative orientation of the two monomers and distance between them. We are able, for the first time, to compute many monomer-excited states water dimer. To solve the intra-molecular and inter-molecular problems we use the Lanczos algorithm, exploiting the product structure of the primitive basis.… Event Categories: Seminars.

Ann Wuttig, University of Chicago

Chemistry-Seminars Analytical Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Ann Wuttig, University of Chicago In-person seminar 4630 TBBC 4th floor Thatcher Electrocatalytic Synthesis with Interfacial Control by Ann Wuttig, University of Chicago Abstract: Chemical synthesis driven by electricity offers a scalable, decentralized, and energy-efficient route to furnish value-added products – from fuels to complex molecules. Maximizing reaction efficiency and durability requires immobilized catalytic active sites on electrodes, resulting in dispersed and non-uniform sites. This heterogeneity challenges iterative optimization of reactivity through traditional catalyst modifications, which rely on uniform, singular active sites. This lecture will focus on our research developing synthetic tools and concepts to predictively control interfacial structures at heterogeneous and reusable electrodes at the molecular level. Surface-sensitive techniques and mechanisms will be highlighted throughout the talk. Applications of our… Event Categories: Seminars. Campus Locations: Thatcher Chemistry Building (TBBC).

David Nagib, Ohio State University

Chemistry-Seminars Organic Seminar at the University of Utah with David Nagib, Ohio State University  TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In-person seminar Harnessing Radical and Carbene Polarity in Organic Synthesis by David Nagib, Ohio State University Abstract: Radical and carbene chemistry can afford opposite or orthogonal reactivity to classic two-electron pathways. By developing radical chaperone strategies that merge open (1e-) and closed shell (2e-) processes, we have harnessed this complementary reactivity (and polarity) to impart new types of chemo-, regio-, and stereo- selectivity for remote, double, or reversed C-H and C-O functionalizations of alcohols, amines, and carbonyls. These carbene and radical chaperone strategies are continually being developed to streamline the synthesis of complex, medicinally relevant molecules and heterocycles. This seminar will highlight our newest, most exciting chemistry and the mosaic of champions behind these discoveries. Host: Qilei Zhu. Event Categories: Seminars.

Chemistry-Seminars Physical Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Robert Baker, Ohio State University TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In person seminar Elucidating Charge, Spin, and Solvation Dynamics at Catalytic Interfaces by Robert Baker, Ohio State University Abstract: At the heart of many energy conversion and information processing technologies is the need to control charge and spin transport in systems that are far from equilibrium. This can never be accomplished without the ability to probe these dynamics on the relevant scales of time and space. High harmonic generation enables the production of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) light with femtosecond to attosecond pulse durations. Like X-ray absorption, XUV spectroscopy is element specific, providing chemical details such as oxidation state, spin state, and coordination environment of individual elements in complex materials. To extend this technique to study electron dynamics at surfaces and interfaces, we have pioneered XUV transient reflection to serve as a… Event Categories: Seminars.
