The structure of the d ouble-layer is typically described using continuum level models\, such as those derived from the pioneering efforts of Gouy\, Chapman\, and Stern. W hile continuum-based models provide an efficient and intuitive framework f or studying and understanding the macroscopic behavior of electrochemical systems\, they are inappropriate for modeling the time and length scales i nherent to individual electrochemical reactions. Over these scales - gener ally nanoseconds and nanometers - the discrete molecular nature of the ele ctrolyte is apparent. In this seminar\, I will present results of theory a nd simulation that explore the profile of the electrostatic potential near an electrified interface and how this profile fluctuates both in and out of equilibrium.\n\n \n\nBio:\n\nAdam Willard is an associate professor of chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a theoretica l chemist that specializes in the study and application of statistical mec hanics. His research interests include the study of water’s hydrogen bondi ng network at protein interfaces\, excited electronic dynamics in disorder ed molecular systems\, and the microscopic properties of driven electroche mical interfaces.\n DTSTART:20230214T180000Z DTEND:20230214T193000Z LOCATION:Room 10\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8\ , 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Chemical Society Seminar: - Adam Willard - Using simulation to stud y molecular scale potential fluctuations in the electric double-layer URL:/chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar -adam-willard-using-simulation-study-molecular-scale-potential-fluctuation s-344361 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
