Dr. Himadri Chakraborty
Dr. Himadri Chakraborty, assistant professor of chemistry and physics, recently attended the XXV International Conference on Photonic, Electronic and Atomic Collisions in Freiburg, Germany, where he presented a paper titled "Valence photoionization of the magnesium atom caged in the bucky ball: effects of plasmon resonance and orbital hybridization."
Chakraborty co-authored the paper with colleagues Lamine Madjet of the University of Berlin, Jan-Michael Rost of the University of Dresden and Steve Manson of Georgia State University.
Chakraborty's summary of the work reads, in part: Encapsulation of this atom offers a unique possibility to examine its behavior in a nanometric confinement. In recent years it has been possible to synthesize fullerene compounds doped with a variety of atoms and molecules. Since these endohedral fullerenes are essentially a new form of molecular matter, their study is of great interest.
