Researchers build world’s smallest interferometer to measure how X-rays and atomic nuclei interact

Double-slit experiment reveals hidden details between light and matter. The image by @mosterh1 shows processes in this interferometer. The path of a single photon (pink) passes through two slits simultaneously and spreads out behind them into a characteristic “interference pattern”. This pattern is used to determine the strength of light refraction caused by iron atoms (dark pink) located in one of the two slits: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?id=8143

Wie lassen sich #Solarzellen und ähnliche Bauelemente verbessern?

Ein internationales Forschungsteam unter Leitung unserer Uni hilft bei dieser Frage mit einer neuen Technik: Erstmals lässt sich die Entstehung winziger, schwer nachweisbarer Teilchen – sogenannter dunkler #Exzitonen – zeitlich und räumlich genau verfolgen: https://s.gwdg.de/d6c8Z2

A glimpse into the dark!

International research team led by our Uni develops new method for ultrafast imaging of dark excitons. For the first time, the formation of these tiny, difficult-to-detect particles can be tracked precisely in time and space: https://s.gwdg.de/9JO9T2

This could bring improvements in technology, a step closer - from solar cells to LEDS to semiconductors. #Ultrafast #NanoImaging
