Research Interests

Formation and Application of Clusters Composed of Metal and Non-Metal Elements.
Main contributions:
1) After Smalley’s discovery of C60 cage, we discovered a new structure of carbon clusters—carbon tube based on laser ablation experiments. This result was first reported in the conference on carbon clusters in Beijing, China, March,1992. The paper concerned was published in Chem. Phys. Lett. (1993, 205,178-182).

2) “Stable composition of binary clusters” and its application in cluster studies. In the study of binary clusters composed of transition metal and sulfur elements, we found that the clusters generated by laser ablation include two compositions, stable ones and unstable ones. The former composition is important for the study on the cluster structure and bonding. We found a series of stable compositions for various metal/non-metal binary clusters.

3) Designed a laser double ablation apparatus for the study on the reaction between atomic clusters. This apparatus is extremely usefulful in experiments on cluster reaction, and is successful for the patent in China.

4) Developed a new bonding structural model for transition metal and non-metal binary clusters.

Molecular Reaction Dynamics, including photoionization of molecules, potodetachment of cluster anions.
Spectroscopy, including R2PI, ZEKE.
