Publisher's Note: “Attosecond state-resolved carrier motion in quantum materials probed by soft x-ray XANES” [Appl. Phys Rev. 8, 011408 (2021)]
2021
Recent developments in attosecond technology led to table-top x-ray spectroscopy in the soft x-ray range, thus uniting the element- and state-specificity of core-level x-ray absorption spectroscopy with the time resolution to follow electronic dynamics in real-time. We describe recent work in attosecond technology and investigations into materials such as Si, SiO2, GaN, Al2O3, Ti, and TiO2, enabled by the convergence of these two capabilities. We showcase the state-of-the-art on isolated attosecond soft x-ray pulses for x-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy to observe the 3d-state dynamics of the semi-metal TiS2 with attosecond resolution at the Ti L-edge (460 eV). We describe how the ele…

Transient attosecond soft-X-ray spectroscopy in layered semi-metals (Conference Presentation)
2020
X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) spectroscopy is a well-established technique capable of extracting information about a material’s electronic and lattice structure with atomic resolution. While the near-edge region (XANES) of a XAFS spectrum provides information about the electronic configuration, structural information is extracted from the extended XAFS (EXAFS) spectrum, consisting of several hundreds of eV above the absorption edge. With the advent of high harmonic sources, reaching photon energies in soft x-ray (SXR) region, it now becomes possible to connect the spectroscopic capabilities of XAFS to the unprecedented attosecond temporal resolution of a high harmonic source allowi…
Attosecond Soft-X-Ray Spectroscopy in a Transition Metal Dichalcogenide
2019
Information about the real-time response of carriers to optical fields is paramount to advance information processing or to understand the bottlenecks of light-matter interaction and energy harvesting. Transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) compounds are an emerging class of materials with attractive structural and electronic properties that can be thinned to the 2D limit and TiS 2 is a paradigmatic example for a semi-metallic TMDC, since its electron mobility ranges between that of a metal and a semiconductor.
Attosecond soft-X-ray spectroscopy of a transition metal dichalcogenide material
2019
We use attosecond soft X-ray pulses between 284 eV to 543 eV for orbital-selective and real-time probing of the opto-electronic response of semi metallic TiS2.
