My research interests are focused on three areas; gas-phase reaction dynamics, nanochemistry and fabrication of solid thin films.
Dynamics research is carried out in the crossed molecular beam chamber. We apply the state-of-the-art laser spectroscopy and ab initio and statistical theories to the gas-phase reactions between atoms and molecules or radicals to probe reaction mechanisms at the microscopic level.
We adopt a pulsed laser deposition(PLD) technique to synthesize nanocrystals such as nanowires and nanotubes under inert condition and characterize their structural properties through a variety of physical methods.
An ionized cluster beam deposition(ICBD) method is utilized to deposit ultrapure luminescing organic and polymer materials on substrates under high vacuum condition and their physical and chemical properties are investigated.
