Cavendish Professor of Physics became the Cavendish Professor in 1971, the holder was also the head of the Physics Department. There have been nine Cavendish Professors since its inception: Cavendish Professor of Physics The Cavendish Professorship is one of the senior faculty positions in physics at the University of Cambridge. It was founded on 9 February 1871 alongside the famous Cavendish Laboratory, which was completed three years later. William Cavendish, 7th Duke of Devonshire endowed both the professorship and laboratory in honor of his relative, chemist and physicist Henry Cavendish. Before the middle of the nineteenth century, science was largely pursued by individuals, either
National Laboratory of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics spectroscopic databases such as HITRAN. The research of the ion group is focused on trapped molecular ions in the ion traps – relatively new branch of physics. Recent works in this field focus on the production, detection and cooling of the molecular ions. The trapped molecules are subject to spectroscopic investigations and as products/substrates for cold chemistry of single molecules.
