We welcome Peter Miedaner as a new PostDoc in our group! During his time with us, Peter will study coherent nanoscale dynamics using ultrafast X-rays. His work will focus on developing new methods to excite and probe these dynamics, and applying them to the study of ultrafast processes in magnetic materials.
A new study titled “Mid-infrared element-specific selective manipulation of the ultrafast magneto-optical Kerr effect dynamics in the ferrimagnet FeCr₂S₄”, published by Davide Soranzio and co-authors, shows how mid-infrared pulses can reshape the ultrafast magnetic behaviour of the ferrimagnet FeCr₂S₄.
We welcome Thomas Metzger as a new PostDoc in our group. He will be partially involved in the project about dynamics connected with order-disorder vs. displacive effects in condensed matter systems; and partially involved in the project about the effect of coherent phonon dynamics on THz properties.
