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.
