4.3 Nanoscale Samples and Optics

We fabricate optimized functional thin layer systems required in the scientific projects at the MBI. One focus is on fundamental processes in magnetic systems such as spib-orbit coupling or spin dependent electron transport and their ultrafast response to optical excitation.

We develop and produce optical elements and substrates for single- and multi-shot experiments optimized for FEL and HHG sources. One aspect is the optimization of plasmonic structures for subwavelength confinement of the optical excitation to achieve control of magnetism on the nanoscale.
