Biographical history

The Electron and Ion Diffusion Unit was established in 1964 in the Research School of Physical Sciences, initially under the direction of Sir Leonard Huxley. The Unit, in the charge of Dr Robert Crompton, investigated low-energy collision processes between electrons and ions and gas molecules, and molecule-molecule interactions. The experimental program was based on the measurement and interpretation of electron and ion transport coefficients, and the study of state-selected supersonic molecular beams and complemented by the work of a group engaged on theoretical studies of molecular dynamics in liquids and gases and single particle scattering. Later the Atomic and Molecular Physics Laboratories were formed comprising the Diffusion Research Unit, the Electron and Ion Diffusion Unit and the Ultraviolet Physics Unit.
