U6.00001: Transition Path Sampling and Rare Events in Complex Fluids Invited Speaker: The transition path sampling technique has matured to a universal tool for the study of rare events in the decade since its development. In this presentation I will give a brief overview of current progress. As an example I will discuss an application to micelle formation, fission and fusion in surfactant solutions.

U6.00002: Phase transformations and transition path sampling methods Invited Speaker: Under pressure, CdSe-nanocrystals transform from the four-coordinated wurtzite structure to the six-coordinated rocksalt structure. The transformation is a rare event that is strongly influenced by the size and the shape of the crystallite. Using this example, we will discuss how the transition path sampling methodology provides a framework for the study of the mechanism and the kinetics of phase transformations. [Preview Abstract] |
