Antrittsvorlesung: Zeitlupe für Zeptosekunden - Laserspektroskopie zur Untersuchung dynamischer Quantenphänomene
Martin Schultze, Institut für Experimentalphysik; TU Graz

Mit Albert Einsteins Erklärung des photoelektrischen Effektes zu Anfang des letzten Jahrhunderts war die Quantenmechanik geboren, der zeitliche Ablauf vieler quantenmechanischer Prozesse blieb wegen ihrer enormen Geschwindigkeiten aber lange verborgen. Am Institut für Experimen ... more

Attosecond photochemistry: avoided crossings, conical intersections, and non-local core-hole dynamics
Daniel M. Neumark, Department of Chemistry, University of California USA and Chemical Science Division; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory CA

Attosecond transient absorption is used to follow the dissociation and ionization dynamics in IBr, alkyl iodides, and ICl. In IBr and the alkyl iodides, a few fs visible or ultraviolet pulse accesses a dissociative state, and a broadband XUV attosecond probe pulse monitors the e ... more

Structure and dynamics at surfaces using EPR spectroscopy: from single crystals to adsorbed proteins
Prof. Dr. Thomas Risse, Institut für Chemie und Biochemie, Freie Universität Berlin, Arnimallee 22, 14195 Berlin, Germany

Surfaces and their interaction with the surrounding environment play a pivotal role in a large variety of areas ranging from heterogeneous catalysis, film coatings all the way to biological systems. Gaining insight into these systems at the atomic level is one of the key goals of ... more

Thin conducting polymer films in action: conductivity, conformability, wrinkling, stretchability, stimuli-responsiveness
Francesco Greco, Institute of Solid State Physics, TUGraz

In the study of thin films of functional materials, attention is usually focusing on the thin film only, either for the basic understanding of materials structure and properties or for their application -e.g. in devices. The substrate is often seen just as a rigid, passive, macro ... more

On the Way to Quantitative Nanoscale Modeling (TraNaS OpenSuite)
Dmitry Ryndyk, Institute for Materials Science; TU Dresden

Theoretical and computational modeling of real systems requires multiscale and multiphysics approach linking atomistic ab initio description, quantum transport methods and 3D continuous methods for classical electric fields (also stress, thermal flow, etc.). For atomistic modelin ... more

Energy dissipation on Dirac and semimetal surfaces: Understanding surface dynamics on the nano-scale
Anton Tamtögl, Institut für Experimentalphysik; TU Graz

We have been studying various promising material surfaces, so-called Dirac materials, experimentally and theoretically. Among these, three-dimensional topological insulators such as Bi2Te3 exhibit an insulating gap in the bulk while the surface is electrically conducting[1]. Ho ... more

Correlations with drive - New phases and excitations in quantum materials
Silke Bühler-Paschen, Institut für Festkörperphysik; TU Wien

Quantum materials governed by strong electron correlations are a fascinating playground for the discovery of new phases and phenomena. Heavy fermion compounds, one such materials class, are particularly versatile to explore them because their low and competing energy scales make ... more

Exciton Phenomena in Functional Materials from Many-Body Perturbation Theory
Dr. Sivan Refaely-Abramson, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel

Theoretical predictions of excited-state phenomena in complex materials can lead to better understanding of nanoscale energy conversion mechanisms, for instance in emerging photovoltaic and photocatalytic systems. In such applications, correlated electron-hole excitations, called ... more
