Comments
on Research:
Prof. Flynn created an experimental research program
aimed at the investigation of molecules adsorbed
on surfaces by using the Scanning Tunneling Microscope
(STM) to study the structure of such species.
This particular line of investigation has enormous
potential for future applications of STM to chemical
problems. The Flynn group has successfully imaged
a number of surface adsorbates including synthetic
polypeptides and long chain functionalized hydrocarbons.
Of particular interest are the long-chain sulfur-containing
molecules that are physisorbed at the liquid-solid
interface of a graphite surface.

· Complex mesostructured polymer phases

· Equilibrium statistical mechanics of
systems to predict how nanoparticles naturally

spontaneously formed by block copolymers
Comments
on Research:
Precise nanoscale arrangements of metallic or
semiconducting nanoparticles can produce fascinating
new materials with novel electronic or photonic
properties. A major challenge, however, is how
to actually place nanoparticles in these delicate
spatial configurations. The aim of the research
is to investigate the possibility of using complex
mesostructured polymer phases, possessing naturally
occurring structure on scales of a few nanometers,
as templates to spontaneously arrange the nanoparticles.
This group is developing a theoretical understanding
of these polymer-nanoparticle mixtures, in collaboration
with experimentalists Durning and Levicky in the
Dept. of Chemical Engineering. They are trying
to understand the equilibrium statistical mechanics
of these systems to predict how nanoparticles
naturally distribute themselves in lamellar and
other phases spontaneously formed by block copolymers.

Comments
on Research:
Prof. Stormer's area of expertise is in condensed-matter
physics with an emphasis on semiconductors. In
particular, Prof. Stormer is interested in the
physics of lower-dimensional systems, such as
two-dimensional, one-dimensional, and zero-dimensional
systems.

Activities:
· Photoreactions initiated by a photon
· Deactivation of electronically excited

· Photon absorption
Comments
on Research:
In Prof. Turro's research group they view the
photon as a reagent for initiating photoreactions
and as a product of the deactivation of electronically
excited molecules. Photons as reagents possess
some outstanding properties, e.g., they may be
used to excite specific groups of atoms in a single
molecule or specific molecules in a mixture, because
the absorption of light depends on selective electron
energy gaps unique to groups of atoms in a molecule
or to specific molecules. This selectivity of
photon absorption may be controlled and varied
at will by use of lasers or a monochromater.
