High-Pressure Structural Studies Of Organic Small-Molecule Systems
High-Pressure Structural Studies Of Organic Small-Molecule Systems
- Event time: 1:00pm
- Event date: 7th May 2001
- Speaker: David R Allan (University of Edinburgh)
- Location: Room 2511, James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh EH9 3FD GB
Event details
We have recently initiated a substantial programme of work on small organic molecules and all the systems so far investigated, such as the simple alcohols, carboxylic acids and ketones, have shown that profound structural modifications occur at pressures just above the onset of crystallisation. The most recent results of this ongoing work will be presented along with some initial results from our preliminary studies of the amino acids.
About Condensed Matter lunchtime seminars
This is a weekly series of informal talks given primarily by members of the institute of condensed matter and complex systems, but is also open to members of other groups and external visitors. The aim of the series is to promote discussion and learning of various topics at a level suitable to the broad background of the group. Everyone is welcome to attend..
