Call for abstracts
I am writing on behalf of Anne McCoy and myself to invite you to submit an
abstract to the Physical Division symposium at the National Meeting of the
American Chemical Society in San Francisco, March 21-25, 2009. The title of
the symposium is "Dynamics in clusters and floppy systems: theory and
experiment "
This symposium will focus on the synergistic interactions between theory and
experiment in the exploration of vibrational and electronic spectroscopy as
well as the dynamics that are captured by these approaches. An emphasis
will be placed on systems that display large amplitude motions. With the
recent advances in experiment and theory, systems and questions are being
explored that we could not have envisioned studying a decade ago. As we
move away from strongly-bound, small molecular systems that explore a single
potential minimum to molecular clusters or molecular systems that may
possess multiple stable conformations, new and novel experimental approaches
are necessary to fully sort out the spectroscopy and dynamics. In parallel,
while performing electronic structure calculations and, from these,
calculations of harmonic and anharmonic vibrational frequencies can be
performed routinely on well-behaved systems, there are a growing number of
systems and problems that are not straight-forward to study by these
approaches. This symposium seeks to explore recent advances in experiment
and theory, interesting systems that illustrated the above issues, and
recent work towards an understanding of their spectroscopy and dynamics.
The deadline for Abstracts is October 19, 2009. Abstracts should be
submitted using the ACS Program and Abstract Creation System (PACS) at
http://abstracts.acs.org. Please contact the organizers if you have any
questions.
