News
  • An open-source, end-to-end workflow for multidimensional photoemission spectroscopy
    We describe an open-source workflow that allows user interaction with billion-count single-electron events in photoemission band mapping experiments.
  •
    New “Horizon 2020” project started
    Developing optical topological computing as a means to reduce energy consumption of electronic circuits
  •
    Time-Reversal Dichroism in Photoelectron Angular Distributions (TRDAD)
    TRDAD quantifies the modulation of the photoemission intensity upon effective time-reversal operation.
  •
    Phase transition of excitons filmed by x-rays
    Excitons in photoexcited WSe2 undergo a Mott transition as watched by time-resolved core-level photoelectron spectroscopy
    Research
    Research in the Department of Physical Chemistry focusses on the dynamics of elementary processes in solids and at surfaces, in particular, ultrafast dynamics of electronic excitations, electron-phonon coupling and interfacial charge transfer, surface reactions and molecular processes at interfaces as well as light-matter interaction at the nanoscale.
