| Research focus 3: Four projects | |
|
Research focus 3 is dedicated to the investigation of ultrafast and nonlinear phenomena in condensed matter and at solid surfaces. Ultrafast electron and structural dynamics, their interplay and the study of natural and artificially grown nano-systems represent long-term research topics in this focus area. In a broad, interdisciplinary approach a number of complementary systems are studied to unravel the elementary non-equilibrium dynamics and relaxation of elementary excitations as well as structure-changing processes, such as phase transitions. Different types of nano-systems, correlated materials, molecular layers at surfaces, and optoelectronic devices are investigated. For such research, novel experimental techniques of ultrafast spectroscopy are applied. Presently, in the centre of interest are time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy with short pulse lasers, in part also in combination with synchrotron radiation, combination of optical near-field techniques with ultra-high time resolution, nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy, and femtosecond X-ray diffraction. Applications, resulting from these studies, are actively pursued in collaborations with external partners from research and industry. |
