SUMMARY:Chiral modification of surfaces - David Madden\, The BP Institute\
 , Cambridge
DTSTART:20180524T150000Z
DTEND:20180524T160000Z
UID:TALK102631@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Stephen Walley
DESCRIPTION:The overlayers formed by chiral molecules on achiral single-cr
 ystal surfaces can provide fundamental insight about\, amongst other thing
 s\, the action of chiral modifiers in enantioselective heterogeneous catal
 ysis.  In this talk\, I will consider the factors that influence the chira
 lity at different length-scales of amino acid overlayers on the structural
 ly similar Cu{110} and Cu{311} surfaces.  Experimental data from a range o
 f techniques\, including RAIRS\, LEED\, and STM\, will be presented\, and 
 I will discuss our attempts to rationalise the data using density function
 al theory.
