Charge migration and charge transfer in molecular systems

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

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 ...

Ultrafast Relaxation Dynamics of the Ethylene Cation C

Ursula Röthlisberger, Pablo Lopez Tarifa, Elisa Liberatore, Lamia Kasmi

We present a combined experimental and computational study of the relaxation dynamics of the ethylene cation. In the experiment, we apply an extreme-ultraviolet-pump/infrared-probe scheme that permits us to resolve time scales on the order of 10 fs. The ph ...

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

Helmuth Berger, Arnaud Magrez, Matthias Wolf

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 ...

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 ...

Probing wavepacket dynamics using ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy

Majed Chergui, Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Thomas James Penfold, Gloria Capano

The advent of x-ray free electron lasers is providing new opportunities for probing the ultrafast excited state dynamics using structurally sensitive techniques. Herein we use excited state wavepacket dynamics of a prototypical Cu(I)-phenanthroline complex ...

Ultrafast Dynamics of Massive Dirac Fermions in Bilayer Graphene

Marco Grioni, Alberto Crepaldi, Jens Christian Johannsen

Bilayer graphene is a highly promising material for electronic and optoelectronic applications since it is supporting massive Dirac fermions with a tunable band gap. However, no consistent picture of the gap's effect on the optical and transport behavior h ...

Nanostructuring and lattice dynamics of materials by femtosecond lasers

Ahmad Odeh

Physically, the colour of an object is a complex result of its intrinsic surface properties, its transmission properties and its emission properties, all of which contribute to the mix of wavelengths in the light leaving the surface of the object. Structur ...

Relaxation processes of point defects in vitreous silica from femtosecond to nanoseconds

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Cannizzo, Wojciech Gawelda, Erwin Portuondo Campa, Andrea Callegari

The authors studied ultrafast relaxation of localized excited states at Ge-related O deficient centers in SiO2 using femtosecond transient-absorption spectroscopy. The relaxation dynamics exhibits a biexponential decay, which the authors ascribe to the dep ...

Time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Majed Chergui

Changes in electronic structure are the source of structural modifications in photochem. and photobiol. processes, occurring at ultrafast time scales (between femto- and picosecond times). An original method to probe these changes based upon a pump probe m ...

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 ...
