Janice E. Reutt-Robey

Field: Chemistry
Packard Fellowship award year: 1990

Research Interests

Experimental research on chemical dynamics at interfaces, with an emphasis on structure-dynamics relationships. Measurements on vicinal surfaces of the configurations of steps on the surface, their dynamical response to chemical absorption, and their role in promoting surface chemistry. Surface transport processes, including tracer diffusion, self diffusion, and chemical diffusion, are probed with a powerful array of ultrahigh vacuum experimental methods, including surface vibrational spectroscopy, and molecular beam methods. A new venue of experimental research is the structural dynamics at liquid-solid interfaces. We are currently developing chemical force microscopy, a modified form of atomic force microscopy that utilizes chemically functionalized tips, as a near-atomic resolution probe of polymer-liquid and other chemically complex interfaces.

Gregory A. Voth

Field: Chemistry
Packard Fellowship award year: 1990

Research Interests

Our research involves fundamental theoretical studies of the dynamics of complex, condensed matter systems. A primary goal of this research is the formulation of predictive mathematical theories to characterize important condensed phase dynamical problems. Such theories are then tested, where possible, by a comparison to experimental results and through computer simulation. A second and equally important goal is to develop new theoretical methods which allow one to maximize the potential of the computer as a research tool. The latter methods are developed, for example, to probe complex phenomena such as quantum dynamical motion in condensed phase or biological environments through computer simulation.
