The Environment, Biology and New Materials provides an introduction to photochemistry followed by discussion of recent advances. The workshop will be of interest to faculty with backgrounds ranging from organic to physical chemistry. Resources for the course include the research and teaching instruments in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Laser Dynamics Laboratory at Georgia Tech. The workshop begins with a series of activities to introduce the basics of photochemistry with an emphasis on theory and techniques. Selected Special Topics Lecture Series .
Participants perform a number of activities in the laboratory portion of the workshop.
Studies of Atmospheric Photochemical Kinetics Using the Laser Flash Photolysis by the Resonance Fluorescence Technique. Other experiments involve determination of the Acid Strength of Photoacids, and the Photophysics of Nanoparticles Photophysics.
