Hello Aspuru-Guzikians,
Prof. Eric Bittner will be visiting as the theochem seminar speaker next
Wednesday, April 6. His talk will be held in Pfizer at 4pm (no need to
travel to MIT!). If you are interested in meeting with him please email me
so we can set up time for small groups. There are also limited spots
available for dinner after the seminar ...
This work should be of interest to many people in the group. As a side
note, Carlos Silva's excitonics talk on Tuesday at MIT is the experimental
side of this very project!
Let me know if you want to schedule time to meet Prof. Bittner,
Leslie

*Bose Einstein condensation of Exciton/Polaritons in organic thin film
quantum wells: theory and *
*experimental prospects. *
Abstract:
Recent experiments on thin-film microcavities give evidence of Bose
condensation of exciton-polariton states. Inspired by these observations,
we consider the possibility that such exotic ``half-light/half matter"
states could be observed in thin-film organic semiconductors where the
oscillator strength is generally stronger than in inorganic systems. In my
talk, I present a theoretical model and simulations of macroscopic
exciton-polartiton condensates in anthracene thin films sandwiched within a
micro-meter scale resonant cavity and establish criteria for the conditions
under which BEC could be achieved in these systems.
