Photodissociation studies of free clusters and nanoparticles of atmospheric relevance
A unique molecular beam apparatus is used to generate a beam of free clusters and nanoparticles in vacuum. Photodissociation and photochemistry of various molecules in the clusters is studied with a modern versatile UV-laser system. In this project clusters of atmospheric relevance, which play a role in, e.g., ozone depletion process, will be studied: ice nanoparticles doped with polutant molecules (hydrogen halides, HNO3, NOx, etc.). Theoretical calculations will be exploited in these studies too.

Photochemistry of small biomolecules in cluster environments
In relevance to biophysics and biochemistry photochemistry of small isolated gas phase biomolecules has been investigated. A detailed information about the photochemical behavior of the real systems in the nature can be provided by studies of these processes in cluster environments. A unique molecular beam apparatus is used to generate a beam of free clusters in vacuum, and the photochemistry of the various molecules in the clusters is studied with a modern versatile UV-laser system.

Implementation of imaging technique in cluster photodissociation studies
A novel experimental method -Ion Imaging- will be implemented in our cluster beam apparatus for photodissociation studies of clusters and nanoparticles. A small independent molecular beam apparatus will be built in the course of this project for development of the new method. The new technique will be used in studies of free clusters and nanoparticles namely of atmospheric and biological relevance.
