Date & Time: Sep 7 2018 | 11:15am Location: Chemistry Building, Room 400 A laser vaporization flow reactor (LVFR) apparatus has been developed for the synthesis of ligand-coated metal oxide nanomaterials. This method produces gas phase clusters followed by ligand coating and collection in a cold trap. Upon warming of the material, a solution is obtained for characterization by a variety of techniques including: mass spectrometry, electronic spectroscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. Synthesis and characterization of ultra-small chromium oxide nanoclusters and molybdenum oxide nanorods will be discussed. Type of Event: Physical Seminar Melissa Woodard Department: Chemistry Department University of Georgia
