---|---|
Date | Monday 13 March 2017 17:00 to 17:55 |
Lecturer | Prof. Peter J. Rossky (Department of Chemistry, Rice University, Houston, Texas) |
Place | Institute for Molecular Science, Research Building, Seminar Room # 201 |
Summary |
In this presentation, the results of a number of theoretical studies focusing on the dynamics and distribution of hydrogen atoms in cold charged and neutral water clusters will be discussed. The role of low temperature in the creation of non-equilibrium states will be considered, as will the important role of such cold conditions in amplifying the importance of quantum isotope effects. The potential use of the latter effects as an indirect experimental signature of the internal thermal state of clusters will be discussed. |
