Laboratory of molecular photophysics

The laboratory enables registration of stationary absorption, fluorescence excitation, fluorescence and phosphorescence spectra in the temperature range 77 - 340 K and phosphorescence decay curves. It is equipped with a Langmuir-Blodgett bath for obtaining and studying monomolecular layers at liquid-gas or liquid-liquid interfaces and transferring such layers onto solid substrates. The infrastructure can be used for spectroscopic analysis of monomolecular layers and their deposition on solid substrates.
