Research in collaboration with other groups: Dissociation energies of alkali metal clusters, negatively charged molecular clusters, appearance energies, metastable decay, kinetic energy release, dissociation channels of fullerenes, synthesis of hard carbon coatings by PLD. Rongping Deng Tel: (603) 862-0011 email: rdeng@cisunix.unh.edu Rongping has been working on his PhD Thesis in the cluster lab since he came to UNH in 1995. CAREER 1982, B.Sc. Degree in Physics, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 1988, M.Sc. Degree in Solid State Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai 1988-94 Lecturer and Research Assistant at Xinjiang University 1994-95 Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, Coventry SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS Synthesis, characterization and applications of fullerenes, semiconductor films and microstructures, experimental physics, computer applications and programming. Rory MacCrimmon email: rcmc@cisunix.unh.edu Rory is pursuing a Masters degree in physics at UNH. We was involved in the synthesis of metallofullerenes during the summer of 1998, and is now in charge of the pulsed laser deposoition system. He is interested in condensed matter physics as it applies to alternative energy ideas. Marcy Beildeck email: mbeildeck@mailexcite.com Marcy is a senior at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, NH. She has pursued her science career beyond the typical courses offered at her high school. In addition to having completed AP Chemistry, she is now enrolled in AP Biology and Independent Research. She has joined our group to increase the range of her scientific research and broaden her experience in the physics field. Neil Bostrom Neil graduated from UNH in 1998. He worked on the scanning tunneling microscope, and did programming with LabView to put the cluster machine under computer control. Neil was a member of the sailing team, Fall 1994 - 96, and of the student senate 1995 - 96. Neil is currently working for Schlumberger-Doll Research in Connecticut as a "Research Technician." Mark Osgood email: mark.osgood@daltonics.bruker.com Mark graduated from UNH in 1997. He spent a major part of his last year in the research lab. He designed and built a scanning tunneling microscope (financially supported through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program), and was instrumental in various technical developments in the cluster lab. His interests are instrument research, design, and development. He is now a "Research and Development Physicist" at Bruker Analytical Systems in Danvers, near Boston, in the time-of-flight mass spectrometer research group. Jon Bannon Jon was involved in our research on metallofullerenes during his freshman year at UNH, in 1995/96. He enjoyed financial support through the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program.   Wenhui Li email: wenhuil@hopper.unh.edu Wenhui is a graduate student. During 1997/98 he was involved in setting up and running the first experiments on metal ion implantation into fullerene films. Geoff Littlefield Geoff graduated from UNH with a Masters in Physics in 1995/96. He did research on photodissociation and delayed ionization of fullerenes. He is now co-owner of a software company.   Keith Kennedy email: kkennedy@colorvision-lasers.com Keith graduated from UNH in 1995 with a Masters in Physics. He did research on photodissociation and delayed ionization of fullerenes. He is currently working as a Laser System Engineer at COLOR, a small startup company near Portsmouth, NH. His responsibility includes design and construction of lasers and optical systems utilized in large area (9 x 12 feet) video projectors.
