A position for a doctoral students is available in the Cluster
Dynamics Group of Prof. Buck at the Max-Planck-Institut fuer
Stroemungsforschung in Goettigen, Germany. In the project, a
single molecule or a small cluster is photodissociated in different
cluster environments. The kinetic energy of the outgoing fragment
atoms gives information on the dynamics of cage effect. The different
laser frequencies for the dissociation and detection are generated
by non-linear mixing processes based on Nd:YAG-, dye- and excimer lasers.
Typical examples studied up to now are halogen hydrides in or on rare gas
clusters, the oriented HXeI included. We plan to investigate
molecules of evironmental importance like HCl, OClO, and ClONO2
interacting with large water clusters.
The Max-Planck-Institut provides an excellent research evironment
with well equipped laboratories. Our work is supported
by the DFG and we cooperate closely with theoretical groups in
the Czech Republic, Israel and the USA on the interpretation of the data.
The candidates should have strong experimental skills and work
well with others. Experience with pulsed lasers or vaccuum machines
and mass spectrometers is a plus. For more detailed information
