-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi all.. please find the attachment for the following talk on wednesday 10 am EE 118: Please inform interested faculty also.. thanks Bhaskaran Talk title: Modeling Charge Transport in Molecular and Extended Systems Speaker: Prof. Swapan Pati JNCASR, Bangalore India Abstract: Charge transfer phenomena is quite central to many physical, chemical and biological processes. These processes include design of electronic switches and wires in molecular level to photosynthesis and respiration in biological systems. We have been theoretically modeled a large class of charge transfer and transport phenomena in molecular and extended systems to achieve effective control over the parameters responsible for such phenomena. In this talk, I shall discuss microscopic theory behind four classes of systems: (i) negative differential resistance in molecular systems (ii) electron and hole mobilities in organic solids (iii) long range electron transfer in conjugated chains and (iv) spin-spin interactions leading to metallicity in modified DNA. ----- End forwarded message ----- ----- End forwarded message -----
