UH hosts Quantum Atomic and Molecular Conference

Document Actions
The XIVth International Workshop on Quantum Atomic and Molecular Tunneling in Solids and other Condensed Phases was held at UH Oct 28 - Nov 1, 2007. The hallmark of this workshop has been its highly crossdisciplinary nature, which includes work on tunneling of protons and heavier species in condensed phases in general, including biological systems, chemical reactions, transport phenomena in solids, etc.

Experimental and theoretical aspects of the role of quantum atomic and molecular tunneling phenomena formed the main theme of the workshop, on topics such as:

  • Proton tunneling in hydrogen bonds
  • Tunneling in biological systems and enzyme catalysis
  • Kinetic Isotope Effect
  • Atomic and molecular tunneling on surfaces, in glasses and amorphous systems
  • Tunneling in porous materials
  • Proton Tunneling in water in confined spaces
  • Rotational tunneling
  • Tunneling diffusion phenomena
  • Spin-tunneling problems
  • Tunneling studies by NMR, and diffraction techniques
  • Advances in spectroscopic and other experimental techniques
  • Multidimensional tunneling theories
  • Advances in computational methods
  • Tunneling transport in superprotonic conductors, acids and bases
