Talk, Výjezdní seminář Fyzikálního ústavu UK, hotel Albert, Paseky nad Jizerou, Czech Republic
Introductory lecture about coherent control of ion-molecule reactions and plans for extension to the domain of electron-ion recombination in Czech.
On the way to the experimental supercold chemistry
Talk, J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry, Praha, Czech Republic
Introductory lecture about coherent control of ion-molecule reactions and plans for extension to the domain of electron-ion recombination.
Studying chemistry using trapped ions
Talk, Department of Physics, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK
This was a presentation about studies of low-temperature chemistry using ion traps at a seminar of the Quantum Systems Engineering Group (Oxford Physics).
Integration of Zeeman decelerator with cryogenic ion trap apparatus
Talk, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
This was a presentation about my efforts to build a new cryogenic ion trap that will be connected to a Zeeman decelerator. It was presented at the 2017 meeting of the Southern Universities Spectroscopy and Dynamics Group (SUSDG).
Laboratory Investigation of Key Astrochemical Reactions Involving Nuclear Spin Isomers of Dihydrogen or Trihydrogen Cations
Talk, Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory, Irvington, New York, USA
This was a presentation I gave at a job interview for a position of a post-doctoral researcher in Daniel W. Savin’s group (Columbia University in the City of New York).
Glass Transition of Small Water Clusters
Talk, Riken, Wako Campus, Saitama, Japan
This was a presentation I gave at a gigantic recruitment event for a position of Special Post-doctoral Researcher at Riken. I must say that I did not get the job even though I got quite far: I was on a waiting list, so if someone had refused the offer, I would have got it. It is quite pity that I had to throw away the research idea.
Thermal properties and dynamics of water cluster anions
Talk, Sport- und Bildungszentrum Lindow, Lindow, Germany
This is a presentation about my negative results at Clustertreffen 2015. I studied low temperature phase transition of medium-sized negative water clusters (H2O)n-, n=50. Our hypothesis was that the clusters undergo glass transition. The way how to test this hypothesis was to vary a rate of cooling, i.e. the rate of relaxation of the internal structure. Precooling set-up was built but the project suffered from inability to specify and reliably reproduce conditions of cluster formation in an aggregation source. I believe that if we cannot quantify the generation conditions we do not know which initial structure the cluster has, therefore it is impossible to fix relaxation conditions. The project was abandoned for experimental difficulties.
