Professor of Chemistry and Biology, HHMI Investigator
This lecture introduces the fundamental concept of wave-particle duality for matter, specifically electrons. It also examines the initial impact of the Schrödinger equation on atomic theory and explores quantum dot technology.
MIT 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science, Fall 2014
The idea that matter (and thus an electron) has both particle-like and wave-like properties is introduced, and chemist Darcy Wanger Grinolds introduces us to quantum dot technology. We also start to consider the impact that the Schrödinger equation had on our understanding of the atom.
