Andrea Cavalleri (Max Planck Department for Structural Dynamics Center For Free Electron Laser – Hamburg, Department of Physics – University of Oxford)25/07/2012, 10:45Photoinduced StudiesInvitedA. Cavalleri, S. Kaiser, D. Nicoletti, C. Hunt, M. LeTacon, B. Keimer, T. Takayama, H. Takagi In this talk I will discuss some of our recent work aimed at controlling superconductivity in the High Tc cuprates with light. High-field THz and mid-infrared radiation are used to manipulate low frequency excitations in the superconducting and in the underdoped phases. The first key result...Go to contribution page

Peter Hommelhoff (Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics)25/07/2012, 11:15Nanoscale SpectroscopiesInvitedPeter Hommelhoff, Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics When femtosecond laser pulses are focused on nanometric metal tips, electrons are emitted. For few-cycle laser pulses, the liberated electronic matter wave can be driven back towards to parent tip when the laser field flips sign. At the tip's surface it can scatter elastically, gain more energy in the laser field, and travel towards...Go to contribution page
