Professor Séamus Davis, 2005 Fritz London Memorial Prizewinner will deliver the first of a new lecture series at the Tyndall National Institute on Monday, May 19th 2008.
The lecture titled "Visualizing Complex Electronic Quantum Matter" - A Voyage of Exploration and Discovery" will be delivered in the Main Lecture Theatre, Tyndall at 2pm.
In his lecture, Professor Davis, who is currently attached to the Department of Physics, Cornell University, will describe imaging STM techniques that allow us to visualize complex electronic matter directly at the atomic scale. He will also examine sources of the intense nanoscale electronic disorder, quantum interference patterns in electronic wavefunctions, and the development of self-organized electronic nanodomains. Implications for the high-Tc superconductivity problem and future avenues for development and application of these techniques will also be discussed.
Professor Davis' areas of research include:
732MMcS
