Microscopy

Ultrafast Electron Microscopy (UEM) facilitates microscopic imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy at picosecond timescales.

In this online seminar, Jonas Weissenrieder will talk about the recently constructed UEM set-up at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden) as well as some exciting results achieved using the ASI CheeTah M3 Hybrid Pixel Detector for both diffraction and imaging.Â

The application of a novel combination of transient grating excitation with Lorentz UEM will be discussed and Prof. Dr Weissenrieder will share recent, experimental, time-resolved results that provide detailed and real space information of the magnetic precession.

Highlights:Â

  • Methods to control and detect magnetization dynamics achieving nanometer and picosecond resolution.

  • Promising future applications; the study of spin waves and dynamic behavior in ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems.
    Â
  • Review of a recent study on photo-driven structural dynamics in Td-WTe2.

  • Description of the structural response of WTe2 following laser excitation, including excitation of an A1 shear phonon and a photo-driven phase transition.

  • The importance of including both short- and long-range optical field interactions in stacking order of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides.
