| Title: | From Earth to Stars: Interiors and Evolution of Planets (Colloquia) |
|---|---|
| Start Date: | 11/22/2004 |
| Time: | 4:30 pm |
| Location: | 1 LeConte Hall |
| Speaker: | Raymond Jeanloz |
| Affiliation: | Departments of Earth & Planetary Science, and of Astronomy, UC Berkeley |
| Contact Person: | K. Lee (510) 642-3034 |
| Details: | Million-atmosphere pressures, typical of planetary interiors, induce dramatic changes in valence-electron energies (eV) of materials, hence in physical and chemical properties controlling the evolution of planets. A new generation of experiments is opening the realm of billion-atmosphere pressures, relevant to super-giant planets or brown dwarfs, and involving core-electron energy (keV) changes in materials.(click here for webcast) |
