Attosecond microscopy aims to record electron movement on its natural length and time scale. It is a gateway to understanding the interaction of matter and light, the coupling between excitations in solids, and the resulting energy flow and decoherence b ...
Differential privacy provides a robust framework for protecting sensitive data, while maintaining its utility for computation. In essence, a differentially private algorithm takes as input the data of multiple parties, and returns an output disclosing mini ...
The photoelectric effect is not truly instantaneous but exhibits attosecond delays that can reveal complex molecular dynamics(1-7). Sub-femtosecond-duration light pulses provide the requisite tools to resolve the dynamics of photoionization(8-12). Accordin ...
Plasmonic nanoparticles in aqueous solution have long been known to fragment under irradiation with intense ultrafast laser pulses, creating progeny particles with diameters of a few nanometers. However, the mechanism of this process is still intensely deb ...
Quantum Integrated Photonics (QIP) harnesses quantum-states of light on tiny chips, from generation to processing and eventual detection. Within this context, this thesis explores functional QIP elements resulting from the monolithic integration of semicon ...
With a power conversion efficiency (PCE) exceeding 22%, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have thrilled photovoltaic research. However, the interface behavior is still not understood and is a hot topic of research: different processes occur over a hierarchy of ...
We report on the generation of broadband, high-energy femtosecond pulses centered at 1.28 mu m by stimulated Raman scattering in a pressurized hydrogen cell. Stimulated Raman scattering is performed by two chirped and delayed pulses originating from a mult ...
Alkanethiol adsorption on the Au(100) surfaces is studied by using scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. Adsorption of hexanethiol (HT) on the Au(100)-hex surface results in the formation of elonga ...
