NewsElectrons as a ruler for crystal structure – published in Physical Review Letters
We demonstrate that electrons inside a crystal driven by ultrashort and intense laser pulses act as an extremely precise ruler for the crystal’s electronic structure. When subjected to the optical field of the laser pulses, the electrons navigate through the crystal on a timescale of a single femtosecond – one million times faster than the […]We demonstrate that electrons inside a crystal driven by ultrashort and intense laser pulses act as an extremely precise ruler for the crystal’s electronic structure.
