The seminar will be held in Sala Parravano on June 7, 2016 at 3 pm.
Abstract
In this lecture we outline theoretical advances in modeling gas phase reactions leading to the formation of 13-15 binary materials from donor-acceptor complexes. Recent theoretical studies of the structures, stabilities, and reactivities of 13-15 donor-acceptor complexes, amido and imido compounds, as well as large 13-15 clusters and nanotubes are highlighted. Of particular interest here are the gallium nitride systems. Use of 13-15 compounds as single-source precursors to 13-15 alloys is discussed. Also presented are directions for further theoretical and experimental studies in this area.
