Potential energy surfaces for molecular modelling, and a perspective on simulations of plasma-material interaction

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Potential energy surfaces represent the total energy of a system of nuclei and electrons as a function of the nuclear configuration. These surfaces (and property surfaces, such as the dipole moment) are key tools for quasiclassical trajectory calculations, molecular spectroscopy, quantum scattering and other applications in molecular science.

Material issues in next generation batteries

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Li-ion transport and local structural changes are vital in current and future batteries, however hard to monitor on a microscopic level under operando conditions. Here I will present our recent progress in the use of operando Neutron Depth Profiling, operando m-beam diffraction and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance investigating Li-ion and solid state batteries.

News from the Plasma Edge

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
There have been major developments recently in the understanding of the very edge of tokamak plasmas. New experimental analyses, coupled with new heuristic theoretical understanding, has led to a simple and accurate model for the width of the narrow region of plasma that is scraped off the plasma edge and ultimately strikes material surfaces, the Scrape Off Layer or SOL.
