• Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series – Professor C. Michael McGuirk

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    Flyer: Prof. C. Michael McGuirk Flyer Title: Exploring Flexibility and Connectivity in Synthetic Porous Frameworks Abstract: Synthetic permanently porous materials are poised to play a key role in our transition to a more sustainable society. Owing to their structural and chemical modularity, synthetic frameworks, such as metal–organic, covalent, and hydrogen-bonded networks, are uniquely amenable to […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: David Limmer

    Collaboratory Yoo Seminar & Conference Hall YH4222 

    Prof. David Limmer Flyer Talk Title: Exciton polarons in lead halide perovskites Abstract: In this talk, I will review some of our recent work concerning the photophysics of the lead halide perovskites. In particular, I will discuss how their soft, polar lattices endow quasiparticle excitations like, polarons and excitons, with a number of anomalous properties. […]

    Flyer: Prof. Wenliang Huang Flyer Title: F-Block Metal–Arene Interaction: Dual Reactivity of Metal and Arene Abstract: The unique metal–arene interactions motivated the advancement of chemical bond theory, and enabled a wide range of applications in synthesis and catalysis. In addition, ligand designs incorporating metal–arene interaction led to breakthroughs in stabilizing unusual oxidation states, and empowering […]

  • Special Chemistry Seminar – Rigoberto Hernandez

    Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Hernandez Seminar Flyer    3D-Networked Nanoparticles for Autonomous Computing Abstract:  Over the last decade, it has become clear that conventional VLSI is reaching key scaling limits. Moreover, the energy efficiency of human-engineered electronic devices is many orders of magnitude lower as compared to biological computational structures. Such inefficiencies, for example, severely limit our ability to […]
