Ultrafast Electron Imaging (Max Planck for Quantum Optics)

A research group at MPQ-LMU led by Peter Baum, focusing on visualizing the atoms and electrons in motion, to help better understand the complex atomic rearrangements and evolution in real space and real time where a laser pulse is used to for dynamic initiation into the sample and the diffraction of time-delayed ultrashort electron pulse in used to probe the dynamics. the research group aims at realizing the electron dynamics requires a pulse in attosecond time-scale which can be accomplished in principle giving rise to attosecond electron diffraction and allowing us to visualize the electron density dynamics in complex material
