Grad student Margaret Clapham of the Douglas and Frontiera Renee Frontiera Groups presented her work on Lattice Phonon Raman Microscopy at the Large Group Meeting today. Beautiful work, Margaret! UMN Department of Chemistry College of Sci & Eng U of M Research

The Flannigan Lab, a member group of the MIUS, has used UEM picosecond-nanometer imaging to study coherent phonons and precursor dynamics in LaFeAsO, the parent compound of the electron-doped superconductor. Funded by DOE Office of Science and Beckman Foundation. journals.aps.org/prmaterials/ab…

Remembering the founder of femtochemistry, Ahmed Zewail, who was born #OTD in 1946. Zewail was awarded the 1999 #NobelPrize in Chemistry "for his studies of the transition states of chemical reactions using femtosecond spectroscopy." Learn more: bit.ly/2RyXPnj

Please join us today at 4 PM for Dr. Renee Frontiera's UMN Department of Chemistry @RRF_Lab colloquium talk entitled, 'Spectroscopic Probes of Plasmon-driven Chemical Reactions.' Zoom links can be requested via the Brandeis Chem office.

Great UMN Department of Chemistry recruiting weekend in the books! We hope to see you here in the Fall, and we hope you’re excited about the science being done in the MIUS! @BlankLaserLab @DJFlannigan @RRF_Lab Renee Frontiera XJ Wang, and Aaron Massari.

Ryan Leighton, an UMN Department of Chemistry grad student in the Frontiera group @RRF_Lab Renee Frontiera presented his work on super-resolution Raman scattering in the MIUS Large Group Meeting today. Beautiful work, Ryan! College of Sci & Eng U of M Research

Join Scott's talk virtually or in person this Wednesday, May 11th 5PM PST! He'll share an overview of quantum and entanglement and how these principles govern processes in everyday life!

The Massari Group in UMN Department of Chemistry and the MIUS explain how SFG can be a proxy for ellipsometry in a Feature Article in The Journal of Chemical Physics. The method can reveal molecular dynamics and refractive indices simultaneously. Tim Lian, Emory, JCP-EIC College of Sci & Eng aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.…

Xiaojia Wang's group in UMN Mechanical Engineering and the MIUS wrote a Perspectives Article in Journal of Applied Physics AIP Publishing on key aspects of spin-phonon coupling and thermal transport. It was selected as both a Featured Article and as a Scilight! College of Sci & Eng aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.…
