Periodic Reporting for period 1 - TReSFiDS (Time-Resolved Spectroscopy of Strong-Field-Driven Solids)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2021-09-01 al 2023-08-31
The origin of these strong-field processes and their dependence on the properties of the solid had not been fully understood and systematically investigated. The project has developed the numerical and analytical methods required to simulate and understand the processes involved in the strong-field excitation of solids. I have investigated the dependence of the strong-field dynamics on key properties of the solid, and I have identified how they are imprinted in the spectral features of observable absorption spectra. These novel signatures can guide and trigger near-future experiments in the time-resolved spectroscopy of condensed-matter systems.
In order to ensure the immediate exploitation and experimental verification of our results, I have discussed the results of this project with theory and experimental colleagues in group seminars and at conferences. The results will also be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals. To ensure dissemination of the results of the project to a broad audience including non-specialists in the field, I have also participated in outreach events such as the Festival of Research 2022 on Time at Aarhus University.
The two-way transfer of knowledge between me and the hosting group has provided me with transferable skills and technical knowledge from different research areas, both in ultrafast science and solid-state physics. Furthermore, working at the project has opened new collaboration opportunities and given me access to different research communities.
In order to communicate the objectives and results of the project to a broad audience, and to introduce the general public to our group’s research on ultrafast science and spectroscopy, I have taken part in outreach events organized by Aarhus University. I have participated in the Festival of Research 2022 at Aarhus University, which focused on the topic of time and was attended by about 1,000 people. For our stand at the Festival of Research, I produced posters and movies and organized activities in order to present in an accessible way our work on ultrafast electron dynamics on the attosecond timescale.
