Optically Triggered Neel Vector Manipulation of a Metallic Antiferromagnet Mn2Au under Strain

The absence of stray fields, their insensitivity to external magnetic fields, and ultrafast dynamics make antiferromagnets promising candidates for active elements in spintronic devices. Here, we demonstrate manipulation of the Neel vector in the metallic ...

Ultrafast carrier and quasiparticle dynamics in strongly confined perovskite nanoplatelets

Etienne Christophe Socie

Over the past decade, lead halide perovskites (LHPs) have received considerable attention thanks to their impressive optoelectronic properties. Today, LHP-based devices are one of the most efficient single-junction solar cells, with power-conversion effici ...

Nanoplasma-enabled picosecond switches for ultrafast electronics

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Minghua Zhu, Giovanni Santoruvo, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani

The broad applications of ultrawide-band signals and terahertz waves in quantum measurements, imaging and sensing techniques, advanced biological treatments, and very-high-data-rate communications have drawn extensive attention to ultrafast electronics. In ...

Exciton dynamics of C-60-based single-photon emitters explored by Hanbury Brown-Twiss scanning tunnelling microscopy

Klaus Kern, Anna Maria Roslawska, Christoph Grosse

Exciton creation and annihilation by charges are crucial processes for technologies relying on charge-exciton-photon conversion. Improvement of organic light sources or dye-sensitized solar cells requires methods to address exciton dynamics at the molecula ...

Deep-ultraviolet picosecond flat-top pulses by chirp-matched sum frequency generation

Christoph Peter Hauri

Picosecond, flat-top, deep-UV pulses are needed to generate high-brightness electron beams to efficiently drive x-ray free electron lasers. Current metal photocathodes have low efficiency and therefore require high-energy pulses, and the generation of high ...

Probing the Transition from Hydrophilic to Hydrophobic Solvation with Atomic Scale Resolution

Majed Chergui, Ivano Tavernelli, Paul Beaud, Thomas James Penfold, Van Thai Pham, Amal El Nahhas, Renske Marjan van der Veen, Frederico Alves Lima

Picosecond and femtosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy is used to probe the changes of the solvent shell structure upon electron abstraction of aqueous iodide using an ultrashort laser pulse. The transient L-1,L-3 edge EXAFS at 50 ps time delay points to ...

Dynamics of Long-Range Ordering in an Exciton-Polariton Condensate

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Gaël Nardin, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, Barbara Pietka

We report on time-resolved measurements of the first order spatial coherence in an exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensate. Long-range spatial coherence is found to set in right at the onset of stimulated scattering, on a picosecond time scale. The cohe ...

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 ...
