Spin polarization and attosecond time delay in photoemission from solids

In the photoemission process electrons are emitted from a solid upon excitation with UV light. From the measurement of their energy and momentum, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) allows to reconstruct the electronic properties of the solid ...

Tunable few-optical cycle pulses and advanced ultrafast spectroscopic techniques

Aurelio Oriana

Continuous progress in the development of light sources for the generation of tunable ultrashort pulses from the near-infrared to all the visible range provides a very efficient tool for spectroscopic techniques able to follow ultrafast dynamical processes ...

Attosecond coherent control of free-electron wave functions using semi-infinite light fields

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Enrico Pomarico, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Gabriele Berruto, Brett Eugene Barwick

Light–electron interaction is the seminal ingredient in free-electron lasers and dynamical investigation of matter. Pushing the coherent control of electrons by light to the attosecond timescale and below would enable unprecedented applications in quantum ...

From structure to structural dynamics: Ahmed Zewail's legacy

Majed Chergui

In this brief tribute to Ahmed Zewail, we highlight and place in the historical context, several of the major achievements that he and his colleagues have made in Femtochemistry (of which he was the principal instigator) and his introduction of ultrafast e ...

Simulating Energy Relaxation in Pump-Probe Vibrational Spectroscopy of Hydrogen-Bonded Liquids

Michele Ceriotti

We introduce a nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation approach, based on the generalized Langevin equation, to study vibrational energy relaxation in pump probe spectroscopy. A colored noise thermostat is used to selectively excite a set of vibration ...

Energy and Charge Transfer Cascade in Methylammonium Lead Bromide Perovskite Nanoparticle Aggregates

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Joël Teuscher, Andrés Burgos Caminal, Marine Eva Fedora Bouduban

Highly photoluminescent hybrid lead halide perovskite nanoparticles have recently attracted a wide interest in the context of high-stake applications, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), light emitting transistors and lasers. In addition, they constitute ...

Nonequilibrium Dynamics of Collective Excitations in Strongly Interacting and Correlated Quantum Systems

Edoardo Baldini

Revealing the emergence and the dynamics of collective excitations in complex matter is a subject of pivotal importance, as it provides insight into the strength and spatial distribution of interactions and correlations. At the same time, collectivity lies ...

Spin Polarization and Attosecond Time Delay in Photoemission from Spin Degenerate States of Solids

Jan Hugo Dil, Stefan Peter Muff, Mauro Fanciulli

After photon absorption, electrons from a dispersive band of a solid require a finite time in the photoemission process before being photoemitted as free particles, in line with recent attosecond-resolved photoemission experiments. According to the Eisenbu ...

Revealing the role of electrons and phonons in the ultrafast recovery of charge density wave correlations in 1T-TiSe2

Matthias Wolf, Helmuth Berger, Arnaud Magrez

Using time-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with selective near-and midinfrared photon excitations, we investigate the femtosecond dynamics of the charge density wave ( CDW) phase in 1T-TiSe2 as well as the dynamics of CDW fluctuations at 240 ...

Investigation of the micro-mechanical properties of femtosecond laser-induced phases in amorphous silica

Yves Bellouard, Christos Edouardos Athanasiou

Femtosecond pulses used in the regime where self-organized patterns are found have two noticeable effects in amorphous silica's (a-SiO2) optical and chemical properties: The decrease of the material's refractive index as well as an enhanced etching selecti ...
