We host colloquia, seminars and a number of outreach events.


Chemical Bonding? Playing catch with electrons!

116 Weniger

Speaker: Prof. John F. Wager, Oregon State Univsersity, School of EECS

Abstract: Quantum mechanical electron tunneling is proposed as the mediator of chemical bonding. Covalent, polar covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds all rely on quantum mechanical tunneling, but the nature of tunneling differs for each bond type. Covalent bonding involves… Read more


New Direct Electron Imaging Techniques for Quantum Materials

116 Weniger Hall

Speaker: Prof. Kayla Nguyen, University of Oregon, Physics

Abstract: The advent of electron microscopy has revolutionized materials discovery. However, one of the main barriers is the cost of expensive aberration correcting lenses for atom-by-atom imaging.


Electronic Structure Department Poster Fair

304 Weniger
,

Speaker: Solid State Physics Students

Summary: Graduate and Undergraduate Solid State Physics Students from PH 575 will present ~15 posters from 3 to 4:40 pm in 304 Weniger.

Every student performed first-principle Quantum Espresso DFT calculations on materials of interest, they then made a poster and wrote… Read more
