Research Interest

Synchrotron radiation (SR) delivers the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation with high photon flux and good resolution. The high quality of VUV from SR gives the chances for scientists to investigate the spectroscopy and photochemistry of molecules and materials in this region. With the VUV from the 1.5 GeV storage ring in Taiwan Light Source (TLS), we are conducting the scientific programs on molecular spectroscopy, atmospheric chemistry, astrophysics and astrochemistry, phosphors, and electro-optic materials with techniques of photoabsorption, photodissociation, photodesorption, photoionization, and photoluminescence currently.

@ To assess the photochemically induced changes in planetary system, we study the VUV absorption cross sections of the interstellar molecules in the gaseous phase and absorption spectra in very low temperature.

@ For investigation of the spectroscopy for transient species and photochemistry of solid molecules, we have set up a 3 K matrix-isolation end station coupled to a VUV beam line by using IR/UV-visible absorption and emission techniques.

@ To study the evolution of comets and possibly even the origin of life on Earth, we investigate the photochemistry of cometary materials, mixed ices in solid state.

@ To study the free radical reactions in atmosphere, we perform the photoionization of mass spectrometry to investigate their thermochemistry and photoionization spectroscopy.

@ For the subjects of VUV phosphors, wide-band gap electro-optic materials, and conducting polymers, we investigate their emissions in relation to structure, preparation, quantum efficiency, and structure transformation process.
