Dr. Svetlana Kilina from North Dakota State University will present a seminar. Impact of Covalent Functionalization of Nanostructures on Their Optical Properties: Computational Insights   Abstract: "I will present current research of my group focused on computations of photo-excited processes at organic-inorganic interfaces in covalently functionalized nanomaterials, such as quantum dots (QD) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Recent focus on assemblies of the QDs functionalized by various organic and metal-organic dyes is dictated by their promise to serve as a key [...]
