Research

In the Attosecond Imaging group we are using and developing cameras that allow us to take movies of electrons on the attosecond (1 as = 10-18 s) timescale and thus gain deeper insight into the ultrafast dynamics of electrons in atoms, molecules and nanostructures.

The 3D-imaging of the momenta of charged particles in atoms and molecules with attosecond precision is achieved via velocity-map imaging (VMI) and reaction microscopy (3D Momentum Imaging).

In our research on nanosystems we aim to resolve nanolocalized plasmonic fields with ultra-high spatial and temporal resolution using photoelectron emission microscopy (Attosecond Microscopy). Furthermore we aim to generate XUV light via plasmonic field enhancement in ordered nanostructures (Nano-HHG) .
