Dynamical processes

Facilitating the understanding of photochemical and photophysical processes, through analysis of induced process in photoactive materials, by laser excitation at very short timescales (femto second) allowing the relaxation and consequences of these processes to be followed.

The facility aids development of new photo active materials (Photo Voltaic, Photo Catalysis and electrochemistry).

Early Career Laser Laboratory (ECLL)

The ECLL employs a variety of ultra-fast laser spectroscopies to facilitate the understanding of photochemical, photophysical and interfacial processes with an emphasis on supporting early career researchers.

Low Energy Ion Scattering Facility (LEIS)

Low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) is a method of determining the composition of the outer atomic layers of a material’s surface. This region is inherently involved in processes such as growth, etching, adsorption, adhesion, and others.
