The project aims at yielding cutting-edge research results as well as advancing scientific knowledge in materials spectroscopy for future development of innovative materials. The objectives of the project are to perform groundbreaking research and yield cutting-edge insight into the light-matter interaction in advanced functional materials and novel nano-structured materials. With this new ultrafast spectroscopy setup combining extreme temporal resolution and large sensitivity, the University of Luxembourg will study fundamental processes such as electron-electron and electron-phonon scattering mechanisms at the micro-scale in these materials.
