Ultrafast molecular stabilization mediated by electronic correlations (A07*)

• Subject Area: Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas
• Term: from 2019 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 170620586

The project will investigate electronic correlations in conjugated electron systems such as cyclic polycarbon molecules using attosecond time resolved spectroscopy. We will focus on two correlation-driven processes: first we will investigate charge migration in suddenly ionized molecules - in close collaboration with other Projects - and secondly we will study how correlation-based mechanisms such as shake-up can be used to implement a laser stabilization process in the dissociative molecule.
