Description

A femtosecond beamline for time-resolved momentum microscopy. This project aims to obtain a femtosecond high-harmonic generation beamline that will be integrated with a photoemission electron microscope to create Australia’s first time-resolved momentum microscope. This project expects to use ultrafast spectromicroscopy to observe the changes to the excited electron motion within materials after they absorb light. Expected outcomes of this project include improving our understanding of light-driven physical and chemical processes that occur in materials and optoelectronic devices. This should provide significant benefits through the development of new cost effective and efficient materials for energy harvesting, sensors and photocatalysts.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 5104 - Condensed Matter Physics. Lead: Dr Darryl Jones
