Application of XUV and Soft-x-ray Attosecond Spectroscopies to Quantify Vibronic Couplings and Charge Dynamics

US NSF grant open #nsf-2549718

Summary

The primary quantum process behind many phenomena in our daily lives is the light-driven motion of electrons. Important examples of this include photosynthesis, vision, vitamin D synthesis from sunlight, DNA damage by UV light, and more. As a first step towards developing a better understanding of such phenomena, it is important investigate and harness the electronic motions inside atoms and simple molecules with light pulses. However, the electrons are extremely fast, and can move on the timescale of an attosecond – a billionth of a billionth of a second! To capture the images of what transpi
