The Role of Catalysis in the Clean Energy Transition

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
We have far more oil, coal and gas than we can safely burn. Tackling global warming implies that we must leave most of our fossil reserves in the ground. This will require a completely different way of running our economy, shifting away from liquid fuels for mobility and deriving our chemicals and materials as much as possible from renewable resources.

Methods, Mechanism, and Applications of Photodeposition in Photocatalysis

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Illumination of a slurry of (micrometer sized) semiconductor particles in an aqueous phase solution of a metal salt, often results in deposition of well-defined metal(oxide) nanoparticles on the surface of the semiconductor particles: this phenomenon is generally known as photodeposition.

Making the most of your presentation

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Strong presentation skills are a key to success for engineers, scientists, and others, yetmany speakers are at a loss to tackle the task. Systematic as they otherwise can be in their work, they go at it intuitively or haphazardly, with much good will but seldom good results.

Orbital Physics in Magnetic Metal Oxides

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
(note the slightly later time of this seminar) An electron in a solid has three attributes: charge, spin, and orbital. The orbital represents the shape of the electron cloud in a solid. In magnetic metal oxides with anisotropic-shaped d-orbitals not only the Coulomb interactions are of importance, but also the quantum exchange energy is crucial for understanding their properties.

WELTPP-20 - Workshop on the Exploration of Low Temperature Plasma Physics

Workshop, to
DIFFER event
The 20th Workshop on the Exploration of Low Temperature Plasma Physics (WELTPP-20) will be held on the 30th November and 1st December 2017 at the old convent Rolduc in Kerkrade. This workshop is intended for active scientists working in the field of low temperature plasma physics and usually covers low up to atmospheric pressure plasmas, modelling and diagnostic techniques.
