[f(k)] Colloquium Gemma Solomon FYS1 today 10:00

[Ilari Maasilta]

Dear all,

welcome to this week's colloquium:

TODAY  14 Oct, at 10:15 (coffee at 10:00) in FYS1 Speaker:**Gemma 
Solomon, University of Copenhagen***
Title:    ***********Describing local currents in molecular electron 
transport.****

Abstract:

Local descriptions are a cornerstone of theoretical chemistry, providing 
a window to structure/function relationships for the physical properties 
of molecules. As new types of physical measurements are applied to 
single molecules, it becomes necessary to develop new local 
descriptions. In this talk I will present our work using a description 
of local currents to map which components of a molecule participate in 
coherent electron transport through molecules bound between metallic 
electrodes. I will illustrate the characteristic features in the local 
transmission for a range of commonly studied molecules, the features 
associated with destructive quantum interference and the way in which 
local currents can be used to characterize the transport in complex 
molecular structures.

Regards,

Kari and Ilari
