(DURIP) HIGH-FLUX SOURCE FOR ALUMINUM MONOCHLORIDE WITH APPLICATIONS IN MATERIAL SCIENCE
Abstract
Radicals are extremely reactive chemical compounds. In Chemistry, radicals are interesting as they define intermediate parts of many important reactions, such as combustion, biological cell chemistry, ozone depletion or polymer formation. At the same time, Physicists use radicals for studies of fundamental nature, such as the search for Physics beyond the Standard Model, manybody effects in ultracold gases or precision measurements. The high reactivity of radicals makes them both interesting to study and challenging to handle at the same time. Isolating radicals with the goal of harnessing their unique properties is rendered very difficult since they tend to react quickly with their environment. Some radicals, however, allow for blocking such a reaction channel at low temperatures and isolating them in macroscopic densities. One example for such a radical is aluminum monochloride (AlCl).
