WRHIへの期待

Our group collaborates with the group of Prof. Masaaki Fujii at Tokyo Institute of Technology since two decades. This intense collaboration is documented in several joint project proposals (DFG/JSPS) and many joint publications and review articles in highly-ranked journals (>35 since 2005). We employ complementary spectroscopic techniques in the Berlin and Tokyo laboratories to determine the structure and dynamics of biomolecules and their clusters. Specific current topics include the study of solvation dynamics, biomolecular recognition (e.g., neurotransmitters), and intermolecular forces (e.g., hydrogen bonding, -stacking, charge resonance interactions in aromatic molecules).

研究プロジェクト

先端レーザー分光法、質量分析、量子化学の開発と分子、ラジカル、イオン、クラスター及びナノ構造体への応用。幾何構造、電子構造、及び光学的化学的性質を決定することを主眼として研究を進めている。赤外から可視、紫外領域の強力なレーザー光源（OPOとFEL）を分子ビームや極低温イオントラップと組み合わせて用いている。研究してきた分子システムは溶媒和、生物物理、光学異性、触媒、天文物理及び宇宙生物学、プラズマ、惑星大気、燃焼、そして新規ナノ物質の関与する分野で重要なものである。
