First, this enables us to use mass spectrometry and therefore provides absolutely precise knowledge of cluster size and composition. Secondly, this guarantees that the cluster is free of any external influences, such as substrates and solvents.<\/p>\n<p>This is a genuinely interdisciplinary field of nanoscience research, contacting condensed-matter, molecular, atomic, and even nuclear physics, and having practical implications for surface science, quantum dot electronics, nanoscale materials synthesis, catalysis, atmospheric science, biological physics and sensing, etc. The lab employs the arsenal of beam spectroscopy tools to investigate, in a controlled manner and with a precise knowledge of size, a variety of important prototype systems.<\/p>\n<p>Our research is supported by the National Science Foundation.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-160 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/kresin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/446\/2024\/07\/clustertoxtal-1024x325.jpg\" alt=\"Atom, molecule, cluster, bulk\" width=\"1024\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/kresin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/446\/2024\/07\/clustertoxtal-1024x325.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/kresin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/446\/2024\/07\/clustertoxtal-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/kresin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/446\/2024\/07\/clustertoxtal-768x244.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/kresin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/446\/2024\/07\/clustertoxtal-1536x488.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/kresin\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/446\/2024\/07\/clustertoxtal-2048x650.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <p><a class=\"cta-link\" href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/kresin\/physics-links\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Physics Teaching Links<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-content-detail.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
