报告介绍 Abstract： Vast advances in materials and physical chemistry have led us to the point that, today, we can create a wide range of tunable, solution-processed materials whose spectral properties span the visible and infrared. These are enabling flexible solar cells, top-surface photodetectors, and ubiquitous light sources. This has in turn enabled rapid progress in the cost-effective conversion of sol...

报告介绍 Abstract： Solar energy can be directly harvested to power thermodynamically uphill reactions that produce energetic chemicals, promising a large-scale energy storage and redistribution solution.  To enable these reactions, we need materials that can absorb light, separate charges, and catalyze specific chemistries.  The materials should be made of earth-abundant elements to allow for larg...

报告介绍 报告摘要：　　Spintronics relies on the generation, transmission, manipulation, and detection of spin current mediated by itinerant charges or magnetic excitations. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spin pumping is a powerful technique in understanding pure spin currents. Building on the high-quality Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) films grown by our UHV off-axis sputtering technique and the large inverse spin...

报告介绍 Abstract： Rydberg interactions are now in use in many research groups for quantum informatio processing. I will present experiments showing the creation of entangled |W> states of ~10 atoms, and two-atom Bell states. While these experiments form a basis for future developments, scalable quantum computing will require improvement of many aspects of these experiments. I will address recent ideas a...

报告介绍 Abstract： Magnetic skyrmions might be used as information carriers in future advanced memories, logic gates and computing devices. However, there exists an obstacle known as the skyrmion Hall effect (SkHE). Consequently, the skyrmions in constricted geometries may be destroyed by touching the sample edges. In this proposed invited talk, Dr. Zhou will talk about his recent research results of skyrmi...

报告介绍 Abstract： Supercapacitors, batteries and fuel cells represent three distinct electrochemical energy conversion devices of increasing importance for applications in mobile electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy industry. A common feature of these devices involves coupled ion transport (and storage) and electron transport in active electrode materials. In this talk, I will discuss the c...

报告介绍 Abstract： Modeling of non-equilibrium excited state processes in nanoscale systems create new challenges to time-domain density functional theory (TDDFT) and nonadiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD). Examples include proper treatment of quantum coherence, transition from coherent to hopping transport in long-range charge and energy transfer, super-exchange, and many-particle Auger-type processes. Mot...

In this talk, I will discuss two emerging trends that holds the promise to continue to push the envelope in computational design of materials. The first trend is ...

报告介绍  Abstract：Platinum (Pt) nanocrystals are commonly used in chemical reactions because of their unusual catalytic activity, for example, photocatalytic water splitting of water. In a typical design, Pt nanocrystals can accept photo-excited electrons from light absorbers such as semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) to catalyze hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) [1]. Charge transfer from QDs ...

报告介绍 Abstract： 　　If graphene had a band gap, it would probably be the optimum 2D system for electronics applications. Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with a robust intrinsic band gap appear as the next-best alternative. Only after a long search, however, optimum strategies have been devised to make low-resistance, ohmic contacts to TMDs . In the meantime, a new class of 2D semiconducto...
