Theoretical chemistry at UW

Today I am giving a talk to the theory group in Chemistry at University of Washington.

I am looking forward to meeting Oleg Prezdho. I am currently learning a lot from reading a very nice review article he wrote with W.R. Duncan on modelling the ultrafast electron transfer (femtoseconds) from organic molecules to titanium dioxide. This is a key process in Gratzel solar cells.

The legacy of 40 years of cuprate superconductivity

In February 1986, Bednorz and Müller made a stunning discovery: superconductivity at a temperature of 35 K in a doped copper oxide (cuprate)...
