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.
We welcome Alicja Karpinska as a new PhD student in our group. She will be working on dynamics connected with order-disorder vs. displacive effects in condensed matter systems. Her goal is to use time-resolved x-ray diffraction and absorption spectroscopy to look at long- and short-range order dynamics to identify the length scale of order parameters through a phase transition.
