Femtosecond snapshots of quantum materials by time-resolved ARPES
FY 2013-14
Summary
We propose to build a state-of-the-art facility for time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, to study the propagation of electrons in quantum materials with ultrafast time resolution, in the femtosecond regime. To this end, a novel laser-based ultrafast optical system will be developed to complement the highly advanced spin and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) infrastructure already available at UBC in the Quantum Materials Laboratory. With this upgrade - which builds upon $9M in prior investments for spin-resolved ARPES, scanning tunneling microscopy, and the fabrication of quantum heterostructures by molecular beam epitaxy - we will establish at UBC a world-leading ultrafast spectroscopy hub for quantum materials and structures.
