Quantum electron-light interaction for coherent electron wavefunction shaping
Ultrafast nanoscale phenomena in quantum materials
Graphene and 2D TMDCs;
Magnetic systems and Skyrmions;
Chiral materials and chiral excitations.
Dynamic behaviour of electrochemical and biophysical systems
Master's Thesis available on the following research topics:
1. Structural dynamics of nanomaterials via ultrafast electron diffraction with resonant and non-resonant excitation.
The ideal student will optimise the optical setup with the two-electron probe for structural coherence detection.
2. Light-driven dynamics of nanoscale magnetic features via Cryogenic Lorentz-TEM imaging.
The class of materials: magnetic oxides (e.g. Fe3O4 ) and 2D van der Waals ferromagnetic semiconductors (e.g. CrGeTe3).
3. Coherent electron wave function shaping via externally-controlled electromagnetic optical and THz fields.
An electron vortex beam will be obtained via coupling in hollow-core fibers for detecting dichroic materials.
4. Electron-Photon and Electron-Electron time correlation measurements via time-of-flight Timepix measurements.
