Project E5
Time-resolved spectroscopy of photo-induced transitions and electronic excitations in quasi 1D metal wires on semiconductors
Areas of Research
• Ultrafast electron dynamics in solids, photoinduced phase transitions and dynamics of correlated materials
• Dynamics of electron transfer and solvation processes, femtochemistry and molecular switches at surfaces
• Time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (trARPES), ultrafast nonlinear optics at interfaces, THz time-domain spectroscopy
