Description

Chemistry may have the potential to control key processes towards planet formation such as magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and grain growth, which are coupled in a two-way process. In particular, the electron fraction and the grain charging are important diagnostic quantities to help understanding the disc's dynamics. In this talk, Martin will present examples that illustrate this issue.
