Title:
Fokker-Planck equation for chemical reactions in plasmas.
Speaker: Paola Diomede (Fusion Energy, DIFFER)
Time: June 7, 2018, 10:00–11:00
Location: Differ, Alexander-zaal
In non-equilibrium plasmas, the kinetics of chemical reactions involving species with internal levels is very complex because of the high number of quantum states whose population is changing in the course of the process and must be accounted for.
Title:
Simulating and optimising turbulence in stellarators.
Speaker: Josefine Proll (Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion, TU/e)
Time: May 24, 2018, 10:00–11:00
Location: Differ, Alexander-zaal
Stellarators, the twisted siblings of the axisymmetric fusion experiments called tokamaks, have historically suffered from confining the heat of the plasma insufficiently compared with tokamaks and were therefore considered to be less promising candidates for a fusion reactor.
Title:
Computational materials science from first principles.
Speaker: Geert Brocks (Computational Materials Science, UTwente)
Time: April 26, 2018, 10:00–11:00
Location: Differ, Alexander-zaal
As undergraduates we are taught that quantum mechanics forms the basis of all physical and chemical properties of materials. From a practical perspective, however, the fundamental quantum mechanical equations of motion can be solved for very small systems only.
Title:
Water Splitting by Photoexcitation at Hematite Surface.
Speaker: Xueqing Zhang (CCER)
Time: March 22, 2018, 10:00–11:00
Location: TU/e: Flux room 2.251
Water Splitting by Photoexcitation at Hematite Surface.
Xueqing Zhang1,2, G. Kolesov3, S. Li,3 E. Kaxiras3 and Anja Bieberle-Hütter1,2
Understanding the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) driven by photoexcitation is an essential step in the field of photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting.
