In a detailed work published recently in Phys. Rev. B 113, 195426 (2026) our group resolved the atomic structure of epitaxial single-layer and multilayer TiTe2 films on Au(111), which surprisingly evolve from isolated TiTe2 units with Ti atoms embedded in the topmost gold layer. By Scanning...
In our study, together with leading groups in Fermi free electron laser in Trieste and other collaborators, we have revealed the possibility of capturing finite momentum surface vibrational modes using diffused extreme ultraviolet light. After a femtosecond laser pulse excites the surface, the diff...
Our new paper is out! We demonstrate an approach to track in real time the dynamics of a normally invisible excited state in an atomically thin material.
In single-layer WS2, electrons and holes bind into excitons. Some exciton states are “bright” and emit light, while others are “dark” and usual...
At this years Long Night of the Sciences (Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften) we presented our work to the general public. Hannah, Isabella, Alexander, and Eric showed and explained not only how LEED and STM produce scientific data but also presented real instruments. Video animations, 3D models and pos...
The so-called 'Perovskite solar cells' have achieved remarkable efficiency improvements over the past twenty years, reaching up to 25%. This progress is largely attributed to the discovery and optimization of functional layers that interface the perovskite light absorber with the external environmen...
