-Dr. Stuart Althorpe, Reader in Theoretical Chemistry, Cambridge UniversityHe lists two papers on the front page of his website that are probably
appropriate based on the title ( http://www-stuart.ch.cam.ac.uk/ ):
· The first evidence of time-delayed mechanisms in direct
reactions. Nature, 416, 67 (2002).· A quantum topological effect caused by looping around a
conical intersection. Science, 309, 1227 (2005)- Evans T. Boney (Caltech) created an eventLogin or register to post commentsTuesday, November 17, 2009 - 4:00pm at Noyes 147

CHEMICAL PHYSICS SEMINAR
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM - 147 Noyes, Sturdivant Lecture Hall"The Liquid Vapor Interface of Aqueous Solutions: Composition,
Chemistry, and Acid/Base Properties," John C. Hemminger, professor of
chemistry, UC Irvine.Login or register to post commentsIn this talk, by Prof. Hemminger from Irvine, we learned about his methods for investigating the acidity of liquid vapor interfaces. Essentially, by varying the energy of incoming X-rays, they can vary the probe depth. As such, they can achieve depth-dependent measurements of different nuclei. So, for simple acids, the amount of the anion or cation in a given layer is reflected by the concentration of that nucleus at a given probe depth (Science Paper just added) . Prof. Hemminger reported results from KCl, NaCl, and other alkali-halides, where his technique is particularly valuable (as a 1:1 ratio represents neutrality of a given layer). His investigations into alkali halides indicates a dominance for anions over cations at the surface. This is in contrast with some water ... more - Evans T.
