Dr. Ding-Shyue Yang of the University of Houston will utilize $465,000 in Project Grant funding from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemistry and Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to elucidate structures and energy transport dynamics of solid-supported molecular assemblies. Using time-resolved electron diffraction with sub-angstrom spatial and temporal resolution, Dr. Yang and his research team will visualize laser-induced motions in liquid films deposited on solid substrates to further understand the fundamental mechanisms of energy flow at interfaces. They will examine how different assembly orders influence the structure and energy transport properties of nanoscale molecular thin films. Insights gained from studies of molecules with varied intermolecular forces and self-assembled monolayers could have implications for materials systems in clean energy generation and storage. The award period is from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025.
