The Condensed Matter & Surface Sciences Colloquium Series presents Dr. Parthapratim Biswas on “Hydrogen Microstructure in Amorphous Silicon” on Thursday, Oct. 30, at 4:10 p.m. in Walter Lecture Hall 245.
Dr. Parthapratim Biswas
Biswas is the Glidden Visiting Professor from the University of Southern Mississippi.
Abstract: In this talk, I will address the problem of designing complex material as an inverse problem, and show that many aspects of structural and electronic properties of amorphous materials can be understood better from an inverse or a hybrid point of view. In particular, I will discuss how the distribution of hydrogen in amorphous silicon can be obtained by inverting experimental nuclear magnetic resonance spectra in conjunction with first-principles density-functional calculations. New results concerning two important aspects of hydrogen microstructure, such as voids and molecular hydrogen, will be presented in this talk.
