Still plenty of room at the bottom: From new nano materials for plasmonics to attosecond spectroscopy of nanoparticles Helium nanodroplets have evolved from a tool for molecular spectroscopy [1, 2] into a versatile approach for the synthesis of multi-component core@shell nanoparticles. [3] In our experiments, we focus on the preparation of particles that contain plasmonic materials. An example ar ... more |

Attosecond photochemistry: avoided crossings, conical intersections, and non-local core-hole dynamics 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 |

Thin conducting polymer films in action: conductivity, conformability, wrinkling, stretchability, stimuli-responsiveness 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 |

Energy dissipation on Dirac and semimetal surfaces: Understanding surface dynamics on the nano-scale 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 |
