Research and Intellectual Interests
Exact Specialty and Research Expertise
Experimental Atomic and Molecular Physics (Accelerator-Based).
Research Interests
As an experimentalist, I do believe that there is no better place to enjoy physics than an accelerator laboratory. My research interests are centered around the design, development, and implementation of accelerator-based techniques to study the structure and dynamics of atoms and molecules during their interactions with charged particles (ion beams) or with electromagnetic radiation (photon beams). My research motivation ranges from interest in understanding fundamental features of matter on atomic scale, such as the electronic structure and charge-state distributions, to application-oriented studies such as using ion beam analysis (IBA) techniques to analyze samples of environmental relevance, or using synchrotron radiation (SR) techniques to investigate gas-phase molecules of biological or pharmacological significance.
In brief lines, I am particularly working in the following research themes:
• Scientific instrumentation: design, development, implementation, and optimization of accelerator-based techniques for fundamental research and/or interdisciplinary applications.
• Interaction of ions with matter: using ion beams to probe the sample composition or charge state distributions.
• Interaction of light with matter: using synchrotron radiation to probe the structure and/or fragmentation mechanisms of small gas-phase molecules.
Accelerators and Sources Used
• Single-Ended Van de Graaff Accelerator.
• Tandetron (Tandem Van de Graaff Accelerator).
• Synchrotron Light Source (Storage Ring).
• Helium Gas-Discharge Lamp.
Experimental Techniques Used
• Coincident Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (CRBS).
• Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS).
• Particle-Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE).
• Time-Of-Flight (TOF) Mass Spectrometry.
• Photo-Electron Photo-Ion COincidence (PEPICO).
• Negative-Ion Positive-Ion COincidence (NIPICO).
• Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) Spectroscopy.
• X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS).
• Near-Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS).
Other Scientific and Intellectual Interests
• Physics Education, Mentorship, and Supervision.
• Physics Demonstrations and Experimentation.
• Science Popularization and Outreach.
• History of Science and Biography of Scientists.
