Astudiodd Will Ffiseg yng Ngholeg Prifysgol Llundain, gyda'i ymchwil PhD yn archwilio sut mae moleciwlau'n ffrwydro pan fyddant wedi'u goleuo â phylsiau dwys o olau laser. Datblygodd arbenigedd mewn rhyngweithio pylsiau byr iawn o olau gyda mater, ac mae bellach yn defnyddio pylsiau ffemtoeiliad o electronau fel offeryn delweddu gwibgyflym. Y llinyn sylfaenol sy'n cysylltu ei ymchwil yw delweddu prosesau deinamig nanoraddfa.

Ymhlith yr uchafbwyntiau mae'r delweddu momentwm electron cyntaf o bigyn metel nanoraddfa (NJP 16, 103031), yr arddangosiad microsgopeg electron ffemtoeiliad cyntaf yn y DU (Structural Dynamics 3, 023612), ac arsylwad newydd o gyffroad atomig yn ystod ioneiddio (Nature Phys 2, 379).

Meysydd Arbenigedd

Microsgopeg electron ffemtoeiliad a diffreithiant o gyfnodau nwy, hylif a solet
Microsgopeg estyniad pwyntiau electronau ynni isel
Allyriadau electron gwibgyflym o bigynnau metel nanoraddfa
Sbectrosgopeg chwiliedydd-pwmp XUV-NIR a UV-NIR ffemtoeiliad mewn

PH-210 Laboratory Physics 2 and Group Projects

The objective of this module is for students to carry out a range of physical measurements and to collate data in a structured manner. Students will be familiarised with various software packages for the collation, analysis and representation of data. They will be expected to keep neat and comprehensive laboratory notebooks, and to write lucid reports of their experiments. The students will also get experience of working within a team (or group) environment on a five-week project.
