First proof of isolated attosecond pulse generation at the carbon K-edge

Friday, March 20, 2015 - 09:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Nature Communications has published a study in which ICFO researchers have been able to demonstrate, for the first time, the generation of isolated attosecond pulses at the water window. This achievement permits tracking and visualizing electronic motion with element specificity, i.e. bond formation and breaking during a chemical reaction, exciton dynamics in organic solar cells or the occurrence of ultrafast magnetism.
