Our Research
Our research spans quantum mechanics, few-body interactions, and applied innovations.
Ultrashort Electron Generation
Nanotips are developed in house through a chemical etching method. These tips are utilised to study surface waves on the conical tips. Surface waves in non-plasmonic tungsten can produce a superfocusing effect on conical tips. By adjusting the excitation point along the tip's shank, electron emission is enhanced in both count and energy.
High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry
A portable mass and imaging spectrometer for real-time analysis of mass/charge ratio is designed and developed. A resolution of m/Δm ~ 700, up to 800 amu, and a 10 Hz response rate.
Ultrafast Atomic and Molecular Dynamics
In addition to VMI, we developed a high-resolution Reaction Microscope for ion-electron coincident momentum imaging, enabling 3D imaging of molecular reaction dynamics and transient states.
Nano-/Micro-Particle Beam Generation
We developed a compact aerodynamic lens to concentrate micro-nano particles and aerosols, producing a pure particle beam for nanomaterial synthesis and device fabrication. Combined with an electron impact particle analyzer, this robust, portable instrument enables real-time chemical analysis of nanoparticles and aerosols across diverse settings—ideal for fieldwork, mobile labs, and research vessels, enhancing efficiency and precision.
Phase-Dependent Study Using Phasemeter
We utilized above-threshold ionization (ATI) to measure the absolute phase of few-cycle laser pulses. Employing stereotype measurement of emitted electrons from ATI to detect absolute phase using two opposing detectors. Investigating absolute-phase dependence of ionization probabilities with the Phasemeter, enhanced our ability to study and control electronic reactions.
Diffraction Imaging
Translating Research for Societal Benefit
The device uses a robotic arm guided by a 3D Vein Viewer to automate precise IV access, minimizing patient contact and discomfort. It accurately maps veins across skin types, filling a gap in healthcare technology.
