Ultrafast tunneling microscopy by optical field control of quantum currents

Project description

A new experimental setup for probing electron dynamics at tiny scales

The EU-funded UpTEMPO project plans to develop ultrafast laser-based instruments to study the inner workings of materials. The very fast laser pulses will induce currents through samples, enabling researchers to probe the behaviour and dynamics of electrons in nanostructures and molecules. The success of the project will rely on establishing new experiments at the crossroads of ultrafast optics and scanning probe microscopy. Detailed understanding of the mechanisms that determine the properties of matter could aid the design of advanced materials for a broad spectrum of applications.
