Summary The interactions of electrons in materials are a rich and complex source of physical problems, in part due to the issues brought about by dealing with the large number of electronic many-body interactions, both with other electrons and with the parent ions.  These interactions give rise to fundamentally quantum mechanical states such as superconductivity and magnetism.  New quantum states

SummaryWe develop and use methods for analysis of nanostructures with highest possible spatial and temporal resolution. One aim of this research is to understand the role of the surfaces and interfaces for their function and properties. Another goal is to study devices under as realistic conditions as possible. The aim is both fundamental physical understanding as well as enabling the design of no

SummaryAccelerator physics deals with how particle beams are created, accelerated, steered, measured and controlled to finally be tailored to specific purposes. This is relevant for laboratories such as ESS, CERN and the MAX IV, but also for medicine or semi-conductor development.The focus of the Accelerator Physics group is on electron accelerators to produce synchrotron radiation. While our main

SummaryWe develop and use novel methods for X-ray imaging with the highest possible spatial and temporal resolution.To this end, we use a wide range of X-ray imaging methods at different synchrotrons, including MAX IV in Lund, X-ray free-electron lasers, including European XFEL, as well as lab source systems. We collaborate with many other researchers, in particular at Lund University, MAX IV, and

Photoionization dynamics Illustration of an electron wave-packet emitted when attosecond pulses (blue) impinge an atom, schematized by a potential well. Attosecond pulses created by high harmonic generation (HHG) in gases allow us to study fundamental light-matter interaction processes with novel experimental techniques. The ultrashort light pulse leads to the creation of a wave packet that can be

Cluster dynamics - a step towards complexity Illustration of water molecules (red) with ammonia molecules (blue-grey) in a nano-droplet. Photoinduced processes in complex systems can be modeled as a sequence of events initiated by the absorption of a photon. Photoionization of an atomic electron is followed by electronic relaxation which results in a migration of charge within the atom. The need t

An FeO model catalyst on Ag(100) by STM (left) and LEED (Right) - taken from ref 1. It is next to impossible to perform operando experiments without prior detailed atom scale information on the model catalyst, due to the complexity of the gas-surface interaction and the data interpretation. We will therefore apply our standard UHV surface science techniques available to us such as Scanning Tunnell

In the beginning of the 1950's, prof Knut Lundmark at Lund Observatory suggested a stylish Milky Way panaroma in an Aitoff projection of the sky. With support from Hierta-Retzius fond and Kungl. Fysiografiska Sällskapet i Lund, the engineers Martin Kesküla and Tatjana Kesküla painted a metre map showing the galactic coordinates, 7000 stars, and the Milky Way in this very projection.
