Professor Musfeldt Led Telluride Workshop
Dr. Janice Musfeldt, Professor of Chemistry, led Telluride workshop from June 14th to 18th in Telluride, Colorado.The workshop, titled “Enhanced Functionalities in 4 and 5d Containing Material from Large Spin-Orbit Coupling”, focused on understanding how spin-orbit coupling enhances functionality in compounds containing 5d ions.
A total of 30 scientists from all over the world attended the workshop. Musfeldt commented, “in addition to allowing our NSF-DMREF team to get together in beautiful Colorado, this series of workshops has really raised the level of interest in spin-orbit coupling and encouraged strategies to incorporate these interactions in the design of novel materials.”
