Imaging shape and strain in nanoscale engineered semiconductors for photonics by coherent...
Today, quantum dots, nanowire arrays, and buried solid-state nanostructures are examples of components used in innovative functional devices for photonics and optoelectronics, including photonic crystals, with applications like optical computers, or more efficient photovoltaic cells. For the first time, through coherent X-ray diffraction imaging in Bragg geometry (Bragg CDI), an international...

Controlling the magnetization of materials with light pulses - The study of Heusler...
When a magnetic material is shined on with a laser pulse, it will locally demagnetize. This magnetization loss occurs in an ultra-fast timescale, here less than a picosecond (10-12 s). In...
