[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Alex Briseno visit August 25

by Sawaya, Nicolas

Hi friends, Professor Alex Briseno (http://www.pse.umass.edu/faculty/researchgroup/briseno) will be visiting the group on Monday August 25th (talk at 3pm). We're interested in setting up one or several experimental synthesis collaborations with him, starting with an excitonic projects. He has a range of experience in materials synthesis and has said that he's "very interested" in collaborating with us. If you're interested then I can give you more details about what I've discussed with him to date. Alan and I have talked about collaborations with him that would be relevant to the excitonics sub-group, CEP, Samsung, and flow battery groups. Please let me know if you're available to meet. I'll group people together after I get some responses. Cheers, Nicolas

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] FW: watt d'or | NOW OPEN!

by Guerreschi, Gian

Dear all, I received an interesting news from the Swissnex. It is about an exhibition presenting several of the award winning (Swiss) projects in energy innovation of the last 8 years: http://wattdor.swissnexboston.org/ I assume that several of us (especially the one involved in energy related projects as light harvesting, battery, photovoltaics, ...) could be interested.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Aspuru Group Meeting Thursday 7th at 2:30 pm in Cabot Division Room

by Felipe Herrera Urbina

Hi everyone, This Thursday Xavier Andrade is going to discuss new ideas on TDDFT for solids in electric fields. Please see title and abstract below. See you there, Felipe Herrera ------ *Title*: How to put a crystal in an electric field *Abstract*: As this will most likely be my last group meeting, I want to take the the chance to discuss some ideas I have with respect to an old problem: how to treat electric fields and polarization in infinitely periodic systems. The approach I want to develop is based on the idea of using a vector potential to describe uniform electric fields in a crystal. I will show that this formulation can be a powerful alternative to modern polarization theory, and that it can even lead to improving the performance and correct some of the pathologies of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) for solids.
