Department Seminar

Wednesday, 1 June, 2016

Prof. Guido Gigli is glad to invite you at the department seminar:

From Donor-Acceptor Complexes to Gallium Nitride Nanorods

Prof. Henry Schaefer III
Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry
University of Georgia, USA

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.
