Figure: Schematic of Experiment. STL from a Fabry-Pérot tip.
The researchers of the Department report that plasmonic properties of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) junction can be manipulated by nanofabrication of Au tips using focused ion beam (FIB) milling. An exemplary Fabry–Pérot like resonator of surface plasmons is demonstrated by producing a single groove on a smoothed tip shaft. STM-induced luminescence spectra of these tips exhibit spectral modulation originating from the interference between localized and propagating surface plasmon [more...]

The Alexander von Humbaldt Foundation has announced that Prof. Dr. Jens Biegert, a researcher at ICFO, Castelldefels, has been granted the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award. Professor Biegert is an international leader in the fields of ultrafast laser physics and attosecond science, and noted as a pioneer atomic- and attosecond-resolution molecular imaging, and key advances towards element-selective attosecond x-ray spectroscopy of carrier dynamics in solid state systems. During his stay in [more...]
