T2: Strongly-coupled electronic and nuclear dynamics in photoexcited neutral molecules
We aim at a better understanding of strongly-coupled electron and nuclear dynamics at conical intersection in…
Topic: Attosecond electronic dynamics in strongly driven systems
We combine XUV pulses as short as 100 attoseconds (1/10-th of a millionth of a billionth of a second!) with few-cycle visible or…
T3: Ultrafast electronic decay and fragmentation dynamics at XUV and X-ray wavelengths
We investigate the femtosecond relaxation dynamics following the interaction of molecules and nanoparticles…
T4: Collective and correlated electron dynamics at the nanoscale
We combine the ultrashort pulse duration with the high photon energy provided by FEL and HHG sources to investigate both collective…
Few-cycle, millijoule, 5 μm Optical Parametric Chirped-Pulse Amplifier at a 1 kHz repetition rate
We have developed a 5-µm optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) system delivering…
T1: Functional magnetic layer systems
Ferromagnetic layer systems
Custom made sample systems for experiments are developed and produced. For instance, ferromagnetic metallic thin films and…
T2: Optical elements for XUV and soft x-rays
Gratings and Fresnel zone plates
We fabricate individual oprical elements tailored to particular experiments. One example are curved gratings…
Work-life Balance
MBI promotes a healthy work-life balance. The institute is certified as family friendly by the audit "berufundfamilie GmbH" since 2015; it has been re-certified in 2018 and again…
