Professor Brent Koplitz Department of Chemistry Tulane University Friday, October 25, 2019 - 11:15am Chemistry Building, Room 400 Physical Seminar Since their development in the 1960s, lasers have been used in a myriad of ways to study and influence chemical reactions. In this talk, three topics will be addressed: photodissociation, metallized polymers, and large-cluster reactivity. The role of the laser in probing and altering reaction timescales will be examined.
