Faraday joint interest group conference 2020
Date | Mo, 06.04.2020 - Mi, 08.04.2020 | |
Location | Sheffield, United Kingdom | |
Program | You are warmly invited to join us in Sheffield in April 2020. This Faraday Division joint interest group conference is the second in the series, the first in 2017 being a big success, it is set to be a highlight for the physical chemistry community in 2020 - and you can be a part of it. The first meeting of this conference series was held in Warwick in 2017, and we are excited to bring the second edition to Sheffield. Organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry and their Faraday Division, this meeting will host some of the leading physical chemistry researchers from the UK. It promises to be a great forum for researchers to network with and build strong collaborations within their community and related disciplines. I look forward to welcoming you to Sheffield on behalf of the Scientific Committee. Anthony Meijer, University of Sheffield Scientific Chair Attendance The RSC is keen to encourage and enable as many people as possible to attend our events, to benefit from the networking opportunities and the chance to hear talks from leaders in the field. If you have childcare or other caring responsibilities, and would like to attend this event, please do get in touch with us to see if there’s anything we can do to help enable you to attend. Themes The programme will explore various aspects of physical chemistry: Advances in materials Current advancement of materials suitable for solving global challenges in the area of energy generation and storage, materials for information technology and materials for environment Biophysics and imaging Advanced imaging techniques for understanding biology Chemistry at cold temperatures Study of molecules and reactions at cold to ultracold temperatures. From rate measurements to formation of ultra-cold molecules Chemistry at surfaces Investigation of chemistry on surfaces including catalysis, photocatalysis and thin films Excited state processes Developing experimental and computational probes of light-induced chemical dynamics and reactivity Machine learning methods in material property prediction Recent developments in the application of machine-learning tools to predict and interrogate the properties of molecules, liquids and solids Magnetic Materials Investigations of magnetic and spintronic materials using theory and experiments focusing on analysis and new generation applications Neutron spectroscopy and allied techniques Neutron spectroscopy and related techniques, such as IR, Raman and NMR, highlighting current status and future perspectives Next-generation quantum chemical methods: From development to applications Recent developments in quantum chemical methods for calculating the properties of molecules, liquids and solids. Applications to model important chemical systems such as catalysts, batteries and enzymes Observational Astrochemistry Using observations to find evidence molecules in space. These can be obtained using both space and terrestial telescopes Photocatalysis Theory and applications. Understanding how photocatalysts, be it molecular or solid, can accelerate or initiate chemical reactions when illuminated, including the discovery of new photocatalysts and new photocatalysed reactions Photophysics of functional and solar cell materials Light-induced processes in materials ranging from photoactive proteins to transition metal oxides, perovskites, nanoparticles and organic semiconductors with applications in artificial photosynthesis, solar cells and devices Simulation and Modelling of astrochemical and atmospheric processes Chemical networks, large scale modelling Structure of Molecules Developments in the determination of electronic and geometric structure of molecules and intermolecular interactions using spectroscopic and computational methods |
