Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

Quantum dots are small entities, typically consisting of just a few thousands atoms, that in some ways act like a single atom. The constituent atoms in a dot coalesce their electronic properties to exhibit fairly simple and potentially very useful properties. It turns out that collectives of dots exhibit joint electronic properties of yet more interest. Unfortunately, though extremely...

Condensed Matter and Materials Physics / Physique de la matière condensée et matériaux (DCMMP-DPMCM)

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

The inter- and intra- molecular energy transfer that underlies transport, charge separation for photovoltaics, and catalysis are influenced by both the spatial distribution of electronic states and their energy level alignment at interfaces. In organic materials, the relevant length scales are often on the order of a single molecular unit. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy...

563. On the Road to Low Power Circuitry: Analysis of Si Dangling Bond Charging Dynamics

Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)

Undesired circuit heating results from the billions of electrons flowing through our devices every second. Heating wastes energy (leading to shorter battery life), and also puts a limit on computational speeds. The solution to excess heat generation is of huge commercial interest and has led to a large push towards nanoscale electronics which are smaller and more energy efficient. Proposed...

784. Set Point Effects in Fourier Transform Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy

Fourier Transform Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy (FT-STS) has become an important experimental tool for the study of electronic structure. By combining the local real space picture of the electronic density of states provided by scanning tunneling microscopy with the energy and momentum resolution of FT-STS one can extract information about the band structure and dispersion. This has been...
