Usually, when talking about laser-matter interaction, only the electric field associated with such electromagnetic radiation is taken into account. One of the reasons for this is that the excitations induced by the magnetic field are orders of magnitude smaller than those driven by the electric field. However, the interest in coherently probing magnetic systems on specific time and
On May 24th, Alba de las Heras Muñoz, predoctoral researcher at Attostructura, will present her doctoral thesis titled “Study of Multielectron Dynamics and Structured Laser Beams in Attosecond Physics” supervised by Dr. Carlos Hernández García and Dr. Luis Plaja Rustein. The defense will take place at 11:00 AM in Room III of the Trilingual Building.
Last June, the Unit of Excellence in Structured Light and Matter (LUMES) was created. The creation of the Unit of Excellence in Structured Light and Matter represents a step forward in the consolidation of the University of Salamanca as an international reference in the understanding and application of the interactions between light and matter on
Thanks to a process called “high-order harmonic generation” significant progress has been made in generating ultrashort X-ray pulses over the past few years, with a duration of a few attoseconds (equivalent to dividing a second into 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 parts). This extremely short duration is comparable to the time it takes for electrons to transfer between atoms,
Our friends and frequent collaborators from JILA (University of Colorado) echo the paper “Necklace-structured high-harmonic generation for low-divergence, soft x-ray harmonic combs with tunable line spacing” recently published in ScienceAdvances. You can read his review at the following link: https://jila.colorado.edu/news-events/articles/necklace-made-doughnuts More information at: Rego, L., Brooks, N. J., Nguyen, Q. L. D., San Roman, J.,
From September 12 to 16, the annual meeting of the European Optical Society (EOSAM 2022) was held in Porto (Portugal). The Laser and Photonics Applications group (ALF – USAL) has participated in this conference presenting some of the most recent results of the research it is currently carrying out. The works presented were: Marina Fernández
Nowadays, the high-order harmonic generation process is an extended useful tool for the study of femtosecond dynamics. Nevertheless, there are still many doubts regarding the electron behavior inside different types of mediums. Recent studies in solid targets have revealed new scenarios with extraordinary electronic dynamics compared with atoms or molecules. The process in solids can be
The television channel Castilla y León Television publishes on its website the news about the meeting of the expert council of the ATTOSTRUCTURA project. You can read the press release and watch the video on their website.
Next August will be thirty months since the ATTOSTRUCTURA project began, which means that half of its duration has already elapsed. For this reason, the first meeting of the project’s scientific advisory committee has been held. The committee, made up of external researchers who are experts in the different fields of the project, has the
From July 11 to 15, the XXXVIII Biennial Meeting of the Royal Spanish Society of Physics was held. ATTOSTRUCTURA researches have presented some of the most recent results of the research it is currently carrying out. The works presented were: Luis Sánchez-Tejerina, Rodrigo Martín-Hernández, Rocío Yanes, Luis Plaja, Luis López-Díaz, Carlos Hernández-García. “Magnetic order excitation by
