VEGA-1/0710/24, 2024-2027, Physical-Chemical Processes at Phase Interfaces Investigated by Absorption Spectroscopy, principal investigator


The aim of this project is to investigate the physical and chemical processes occurring at interfaces between solid-liquid and plasma phases. Our primary focus is on small molecules, including NH3, CH4, CO2, H2O, and active compounds based on oxygen and nitrogen (RONS). Using high-sensitivity absorption spectroscopy, we aim to determine the structure of their optical spectra and gain a better understanding of their roles in important physicochemical processes occurring at the phase interfaces. Specifically, we aim to investigate the dynamics of

RONS at the plasma-liquid interface, identify and determine the absolute cross-sections for light absorption transitions of the studied molecules, and study the spin-selective interaction of isomers at the liquid-solid interface. Through our investigations, we hope to gain insights into observed phenomena and develop their better understanding. This could have applications in a variety of fields, including materials science, energy, and environmental science.

APVV-19-0386, 2020-2024, Ion and electron processes for advanced spectrometric methods, co-investigator


Molecular processes induced by electrons and ions are abundant in many different environments such as interstellar space, atmospheres of small bodies and planets, natural and industrial plasmas, novel nanotechnologies such as focused electron and ion beam etching and deposition, analytical methods or even in agricultural applications. The main goal of current basic research project will be understanding the processes associated with electron and ion interactions with gases, including electron ionisation, electron induced excitation and dissociation, electron attachment, and finally the interaction of positive and negative ions with the molecules in detail. The studies will cover the field of the kinetics of the processes (cross sections and rate coefficients), and energetics of the reactions (analysis of the reaction products and energy thresholds for their formation). The experimental studies will also be supported by quantum chemical calculations when needed. To reach the project goals the Electron and Plasma Physics Laboratory (EPPL) at the Comenius University Bratislava will use advanced spectrometric methods – emission spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and ion mobility spectrometry which will provide complex understanding of the analysed group of processes. The EPPL utilizes unique combination of experimental devices aimed specifically at studying these elementary processes. During the course of the project all the experimental methods will be further developed to broaden their capabilities and applications. The project will also draw support from the run-in cooperation of the EPPL with excellent research organizations such as Auburn University, USA in the field of astrophysics, University of Kent, UK in the field of plasma jets and discharges or National Research Nuclear University, Russia in the field of ion spectrometry. The project will generate publications in the renowned international current journals and several PhD, master and bachelor theses.

APVV FR-DS-2019-0050, 2019-2022, Accurate low-temperature spectroscopy of ammonia, principal investigator

Although they belong to the family of “simplest” molecules, the small hydrogenated compounds like ammonia play an important role in everyday physical or chemical processes of Earth or Space. In the past years, the topic was boosted by the discoveries of exoplanets and the capability to observe their atmospheric composition. More recently, the subject was supported by the ESA's decision to launch the Twinkle space telescope in 2022 followed by the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey (ARIEL) in 2028. Their targets will extend from gas giants (Jupiter or Neptune-like) to super-Earths in the very hot to warm zones of F to M-type host stars. Highly accurate spectroscopic data – line position, intensity, energy levels, and collisional parameters are necessary to analyze correctly the feeble low-resolution absorption signals of these planets. Although it has been over a century since the first observation of the NH3 spectra it is still far from well understood. Our project will target the acquisition of accurate ammonia spectra in the 1.4-2.3 μm region by narrow linewidth laser sources. To this extent, we will use the absorption spectra from the temperature stabilized Herriott cell (range 110-296K) and the supersonic jet expansion (20-30K). As a result, by combining the experimental and analytical capabilities of the three involved laboratories we plan to deliver the experimental NH3 line list with unprecedented accuracy and sensitivity. Necessary for understanding the role of NH3 in various physico-chemical processes.
