Recent progress in utilizing ultrafast light-matter interaction to control the macroscopic
properties of quantum materials is reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on photoinduced …

Since the discovery of electron-wave duality, electron scattering instrumentation has
developed into a powerful array of techniques for revealing the atomic structure of matter …

Ultrafast spectroscopy techniques use sequences of ultrashort light pulses (with femto-to
attosecond durations) to study photoinduced dynamical processes in atoms, molecules …

Advances in attosecond spectroscopy have enabled tracing and controlling the electron
motion dynamics in matter, although they have yielded insufficient information about the …

Progress in electron-beam spectroscopies has recently enabled the study of optical
excitations with combined space, energy and time resolution in the nanometre …

This review is devoted to the study of ultrafast laser ablation of solids and liquids. The
ablation of condensed matter under exposure to subpicosecond laser pulses has a number …

Crystallization is the process of atoms or molecules forming an organized solid via
nucleation and growth. Being intrinsically stochastic, the research at an atomistic level has …

The complex interplay among several active degrees of freedom (charge, lattice, orbital, and
spin) is thought to determine the electronic properties of many oxides. We report on …

Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

The electron-phonon coupling and the corresponding energy exchange are investigated
experimentally and by ab initio theory in nonequilibrium states of the free-electron metal …
