Hi Everyone, Sorry for the delay on this announcement but David Temple will be giving group meeting today at the new time - 2:30 and due to an important DARPA meeting that Prof. Shakhnovich has today, the meeting will be in Naito 030 (Zhuang conference room). David's abstract is included below! Title: Disordered Polymer Systems Abstract: I'll begin with a brief introduction to the statistical physics of polymers and polymer field theory. Next, some recent experiments and simulations of self assembled diblock copolymer melts on imperfectly patterned (disordered) substrates will be presented. I'll show how a simple analytical model can be used to understand the different phases of the copolymer melts found in simulations and experiments. Lastly, I'll discuss how the adsorption of a polymer on a disordered template can be mapped onto the problem of Anderson localization of electrons in disordered solids. _______________________________________________ Aspuru-meetings-list mailing list Aspuru-meetings-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/aspuru-meetings-list
