UNBF Physics Department Seminar-FR

Event Details:

At this UNBF Physics Department Seminar, Dr. Dennis Tokaryk, UNBF, will discuss, "New experiments in the laser lab: laser-induced fluorescence combined with Fourier transform spectroscopy."

“The UNB laser spectroscopy laboratory specializes in studying gas-phase molecules containing a metal atom. These molecules are unstable because they are highly reactive, but play important roles in astrophysics and transition metal bonding, and act as natural laboratories for studying unusual quantum mechanical effects.

Our primary diagnostic tool, laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy, has recently been augmented by the revival of a Fourier transform spectrometer, which can resolve the fluorescence at high resolution. We will illustrate our exciting new capability by describing recent experiments on the iron hydride and iron deuteride molecules, FeH and FeD, which are relevant to solar physics. We will conclude by describing new experiments to facilitate the investigation of the permanent dipole moment of the electron."
