Our ordinary life is destined by the structure of molecules in the matter around us. Every-day-use of lamps, semi conductors makes the MP3-player functional for a reasonable price and earth is protected from dangerous ultra violett radiation.
Within the project we study the electronic structure of the molecules by exposing the matter to synchrotron radiation. Using spectroscopy, measurement of the electron energy or ions momentum, there is a way of finding out just how the light is affecting the molecules. This is important information for the understanding of why molecules act different, in for example the atmosphere, and it also enables the progress of finding the right molecule for new futur applications.
The molecules in our research are often very small and not so complicated. We use these molecules and develop model for research or discover and enlightens a new behaviour for the matter. By studying molecules of difference sizes, we achieve information of how the size of a molecule affects its abilities and functions.
