Research

research overview

  • Dr. Bohn's research studies interactions between molecules in the gaseous state at temperatures below one milliKelvin. His work seeks to better understand how chemical reactions occur and can be controlled in this unusual environment. A second area concerns properties of dilute, quantum degenerate Bose gases, especially those whose constituents possess electric dipole moments.
