加州大学圣芭芭拉分校化学与生物化学系教授Martin Moskovits将于10月14日-29日访问厦门大学。Martin教授是国际知名纳米科学家，对表面增强拉曼光谱学、纳米光学、纳米能源化学作出过卓越的贡献。Martin教授曾担任加州大学圣芭芭拉分校理学院院长，多伦多大学化学系系主任，美国能源部基础能源科学顾问委员会副主席等。他还是加拿大科学院院士，美国科学促进会（AAAS）会士，美国光学会（OSA）会士等。Martin获得过国际多个著名学术大奖，在国际上享有崇高的学术地位。

Martin教授访问厦门大学期间将要讲授约四次研究生课程（详见下列四次讲座信息）。讲座主题包括等离激元光子学（讲座1）、以及物理化学中与光子学和光谱相关的研究进展等（讲座2）。特别是他还计划参与并建议一些新颖而有趣的新研究方向和项目，拟与厦大师生感兴趣的课题包括新型等离激元辅助光催化在能源转化中的应用等（讲座3）。Martin教授也乐意与研究生讨论一些基础研究问题，以及就如何在高水平杂志上发表文章与大家进行讨论。

Martin教授开过多家科技公司，并担任二十几家科技公司的顾问，对科技成果转化有很多宝贵经验。这次访问厦门期间，Martin教授也乐意和大家分享科技成果转化中的得失经验（讲座4）。

讲座1. An introduction to plasmonics

时间：10月18日下午16：30 - 18：00

地点：卢嘉锡楼202报告厅

摘要：Everyone knows that modern plasmonics got its start from the intense interest of the scientific community in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and the central role that plasmonic excitation seemed to play in SERS. Currently the focus of plasmonics has been on the role plasmonic excitation plays in such processes as plasmon mediated chemistry either through energy transfer or through the action of hot electrons and holes energized by the decay of the plasmon. In addition to the core aspects of the current field I’ll also discuss the results of some lesser-known experiments that now seem pertinent in the context of the current interest in plamonics.

讲座2. The plasmoelectric effect and its role in spectroscopy

时间：10月19日下午16：30 - 18：00

地点：卢嘉锡楼202报告厅

摘要：Approximately three years ago Prof. Harry Atwater of Caltech and coworkers reported an intriguing effect. When metal nanoparticles capable of plasmon excitation and residing in close proximity to a bulk conductor are illuminated by light slightly off-resonance from the plasmon resonance, electrons are exchanged between the nanoparticles and the bulk conductor so as to bring the nanosystem into resonance with the light. Those authors explained the effect in terms of the greater entropy increase that arises from the heat liberated when the particles absorb light at resonance as opposed to off resonance. We show that for properly-structured systems such charge exchanges can occur merely by running a spectrum of the nanoparticles.

讲座3. Converting Plasmons to Charge Carriers

时间：10月23日下午16：30 - 18：00

地点：卢嘉锡楼202报告厅

摘要：Many of the opportunities offered by modern plasmonics research arise from the judicious use one makes of the hot electrons and holes generated. Causing these charges to cross interfaces has suggested some intriguing applications both in chemistry and in other opportunities such as alternative strategies for photovoltaics.

讲座4. Engines of innovation: how research becomes business

时间：10月24日下午16：30 - 18：00

地点：卢嘉锡楼202报告厅

摘要：New business ventures in America during the middle years of the 20th century benefited enormously from the large corporate innovation “machines” such as Bell Labs, RCA Sarnoff Labs, GE labs, IBM Labs, among others. These labs were summarily and dramatically reduced in size (or outright closed down) in the years following the divestiture of Bell labs in 1984. What has replaced those amazing invention machines? I argue that that role has been picked up by startups. I’ll use (among others) an example of a company with which I was involved.
