The Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin has announced that Nikolai Paßler of the Lattice Dynamics group has been awarded the Physics-studies Prize.
The Physics-studies Prize is awarded by the Physikalische Gesellschaft zu Berlin to outstanding graduates with diploma or masters degree.

A team of researchers from the Structural and Electronic Surface Dynamics group of the FHI Department of Physical Chemistry, Berlin, and the MPI for Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Hamburg, have published an outstanding article in the Physical Review Letters, investigating the interactions of photoexcited carriers with lattice vibrations in thin films of the layered transition metal dichalcogenide WSe₂. Employing femtosecond electron diffraction with monocrystalline samples and first-principles [more...]
