Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The proposed research will comprise three main areas. (i) Empirical manybody potentials will be derived for solids and applied in the study of phase transformations, crystalline defects, diffusion in solids, surfaces, and clusters. (ii) I will use density functional theory to elucidate the mechanism of some novel metallocene based catalysis. The energy barrier to various monomer insertion pathways will be calculated with a view to understanding the factors which determine the remarkable control which these metallocenes display over such properties as tacticity. (iii) I will attempt to apply the method of constructing bound-state eigenvalues for three finite mass particles developed in my D. Phil., to non-zero angular momentum states.
