Key concepts in molecular electronics


This morning at MM2009 Abe Nitzan gave a beautiful talk which gave a unified physical picture of many of the important processes (electron transfer, solvation, transition state theory, vibrational relaxation, ....) that are key to understanding molecular conduction. On his website I found an earlier and more detailed version of the talk, given a few years ago in Cape Town.

This makes a nice companion to reading his book.

A very effective Hamiltonian in nuclear physics

Atomic nuclei are complex quantum many-body systems. Effective theories have helped provide a better understanding of them. The best-known a...
