Atomic and Molecular Physics
The processes of charge particles (electron and spin) impact excitation, and photoexcitation of atomic, molecular, and solid targets are of fundamental importance in understanding the behavior of upper atmosphere and the operation of numerous practical devices. In order to investigate these results the Atmoic and Molecular Physics Laboratory performs accurate experiments to measure electron and ion collision cross sections and provides detailed insight into atomic, molecular and condensed matter structures and the dynamics of the collision processes. These studies, of both a fundamental and applied nature, are carried out in four research subjects, (i) High-Resolution Low Energy Electron Collision, (ii) Photoelectron Spectroscopy, (iii) Multi-charge Ion Collisions, and (iv) Low Energy Diffraction. The development of New experimental techniques related to the subjects is also involved. All experiments are performed in close collaborations with theorists, both Japanese and international.
