Slido works well as an anonymous polling app. It lets you create a poll during a Webex meeting, or it can be used as a stand-alone application. You would use your Webex credentials to access it.
We will cover instructors can:
• Collect ideas, opinions, or feedback
• Run inclusive Q&A sessions: Create a safe space for everyone to ask a question and upvote the most relevant ones.
• Make more effective and inclusive decisions: Streamline the decision-making process by putting a topic up for a vote and getting a quick pulse check of the room.
• Run a fun quiz: Bring class together to enhance the learning experience during training sessions with a bit of fun competition.

Negative electronic compressibility in multiband electron gas models
In this thesis, I present the results of my investigation of the effects of two electronic bands on the negative electronic compressibility (NEC) in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). We use a simple homogeneous model with Coulombic interactions and first-order multi-band coupling to examine the role of effective mass and relative permittivity in relation to the critical carrier density, where compressibility turns negative. We demonstrate that the population of a second band, along with the presence of inter-band coupling, can dramatically change the cross-over carrier density. This model suggests a method for identifying multi-band electronic systems using precise bulk electronic properties measurements despite the difficulty in confirming such systems. We apply our results to the observed NEC in the 2D electron gas at the interface of LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) and determine that, for the known parameters of LAO/STO, the system is likely a realization of a two-band 2D electron gas. Furthermore, we provide general limits on the inter-band coupling with respect to the electronic band population.

Tuesday, August 9th, 2022
09:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Other Teams
Do you care about someone struggling with a substance use disorder/addiction? SHaW has training that can help!
When you complete the training session, our hope is that you will be able to confidently support individuals by:
• Understanding the complex nature of addiction as a disease and that substance use disorders often cannot be resolved by the individual simply choosing to stop.
• Confronting myths and stigma regarding addiction and recovery and how its negative impact deters individuals from seeking support
• Using empathetic language when a person chooses to honor you by disclosing that they are struggling with substance use.
• Being available to effectively listen and use tactful communication techniques to respond to those who express the need for support.
• Defining and understanding that recovery is a life-time journey with multiple pathways to achieving wellness in recovery.
• Knowing available recovery support resources that are on and off campus and how to access them.
Register for a session at https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/recovery/.
Anyone in the larger UConn Community is welcome!Contact Information: Alison Allen at aly00001work@uconn.edu
