SEMINAR: Insights into Optimizing Topological and Thermoelectric Materials from Optics by Prof. Kenneth Burch

Wednesday, July 22, 2015 - 11:00 to 12:00

Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit (Dani Unit) would like to invite you to a seminar on July 22nd from 11:00 to 12:00 at C 700 (Lab3) by Dr. Kenneth Burch, Associate Professor at Boston College.

Title: "Insights into Optimizing Topological and Thermoelectric Materials from Optics

Abstract: Thermoelectrics and Topological Insulators offer unique opportunities to improve power efficiency of devices and recover lost heat. A key difficulty is understanding the interplay between electronic structure, phonons, disorder, doping, nano-confinement and transport. In this talk I will outline our groups efforts to understand this interplay using various optical spectroscopies (Infrared and Raman) and as well mechanical exfoliation.
