Symmetry is a fundamental concept in physics, which tells what phenomena may occur. In a series of lectures we introduce you to group theory, that is the mathematical approach to symmetry. In exercises you’ll apply what you have learned to common problems in solid-state physics, in particular in electron spectroscopies. This ATM is suited for both theoreticians and experimentalists.
In this lab course, you will work with a tabletop setup for picosecond soft-X-ray resonant magnetic scattering experiments. For that, the broadband emission of a laser-driven plasma X-ray source from 500–1500eV is employed. You will first statically characterize the antiferromagnetic and structural Bragg peaks of on artifical AFM sample (Fe/Cr superlattice). Afterward, you will probe both, ...
In the laboratory course, "High Harmonic Generation," you will learn how to efficiently generate and characterize extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation using femtosecond laser pulses. Specifically, you will measure and calibrate the HHG emission spectra and determine the spatial coherence using different double slit samples.
The udkm1Dsim toolbox is a collection of Python classes and routines for simulating the thermal, structural, and magnetic dynamics of one-dimensional sample structures following ultrafast laser excitation. It further enables the calculation of the corresponding light and X-ray scattering response, providing a unified framework for modeling coupled ultrafast dynamics and their experimental ...
