Atto Fridays – Professor James Cryan – Probing Attosecond Electron Dynamics with X-ray Free Electron Lasers
Abstract: Electron motion is a key ingredient of chemical reactions. For small quantum systems, the natural timescale for such electronic motion is typically in the range of tens to hundreds of attoseconds. Consequently, the study of ultrafast electronic phenomena requires the generation of laser pulses shorter than 1 fs, and of sufficient intensity to drive... Read more »
