Light-Solid Ultrarapid Phenomemes (PULS)

Scientific activity

We study the electronic properties of quantum materials using experimental methods based on ultrafast lasers.

Thanks to advanced techniques such as time-resolved photoemission, ultrafast light pulses offer the opportunity to explore electron dynamics on the femtosecond scale (10^-15 s). This makes it possible to observe fundamental quantum phenomena such as carrier dynamics, inter- and intra-band scattering, photo-induced changes in band structure, the lifetime and dynamics of excited states, and non-thermal transitions of quantum matter.
