Exciton migration in two-dimensional materials

Giovanni Consalvo Cistaro

Excitons play an essential role in the optical response of two-dimensional materials. These are bound states showing up in the band gaps of many-body systems and are conceived as quasiparticles formed by an electron and a hole. By performing real-time simu ...

Attosecond transient absorption spooktroscopy: a ghost imaging approach to ultrafast absorption spectroscopy

Christoph Bostedt, Andre Al Haddad, Zhaoheng Guo, Jonas Knurr

The recent demonstration of isolated attosecond pulses from an X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) opens the possibility for probing ultrafast electron dynamics at X-ray wavelengths. An established experimental method for probing ultrafast dynamics is X-ray t ...

Spin polarization and attosecond time delay in photoemission from solids

Mauro Fanciulli

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 ...

Auger-induced charge migration

Christoph Bostedt

Novel perspectives of controlling molecular systems have recently arisen from the possibility of generating attosecond pulses in the ultraviolet regime and tailoring electron dynamics in its natural time scale. The cornerstone mechanism is the so-called ch ...

Charge migration and charge transfer in molecular systems

Ursula Röthlisberger, Majed Chergui, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Joël Teuscher, Andrea Cannizzo, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Natalie Renuka Banerji, Elisa Liberatore, Pablo Lopez Tarifa

The transfer of charge at the molecular level plays a fundamental role in many areas of chemistry, physics, biology and materials science. Today, more than 60 years after the seminal work of R. A. Marcus, charge transfer is still a very active field of res ...

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 ...

Several Semiclassical Approaches to Time-resolved Spectroscopy

Jiri Vanicek

Ultrafast spectroscopy allows molecular dynamics to be resolved on the femtosecond time scale. Whereas such short time scales obviously pose any experimental challenges, they provide an opportunity for semiclassica methods, which are naturally suited for s ...

Laser arrival measurement tools for SwissFEL

Christoph Peter Hauri

SwissFEL is aiming to produce X-ray pulses from 30 fs down to the attosecond time scale. This requires the compression of the several picosecond long electron bunches produced by a photo-injector to sub-fs level. To achieve this, 40fs accurate injection of ...

Picosecond solvation dynamics of alkali cations in superfluid 4He nanodroplets

Marcel Drabbels, Alberto Hernando de Castro

The dynamics following the photoionization of neutral Rb and Cs atoms residing in a dimple at the surface of a superfluid 4He1000 nanodroplet has been investigated within time-dependent density functional theory, complementing a previous study on Ba. The c ...

Can Energetic Terahertz Pulses Initiate Surface Catalytic Reactions on the Picosecond Time Scale?

Christoph Peter Hauri

In preparation for picosecond pump-probe experiments at the SwissFEL X-ray laser facility, the feasibility of collectively initiating surface chemical reactions using energetic pulses of terahertz radiation is being tested. © Schweizerische Chemische Gesel ...

Cellular photoperception and photoactive proteins

Majed Chergui, Stefan Haacke

A review. The crucial steps of cellular photoperception are characterized and followed in real time by laser spectroscopy down to a few tens of femtoseconds. The photoactive proteins studied here are involved in major natural processes such as vision (bact ...
