Summer School 2019
Frontiers in Time-Resolved Science:
Spin, Charge and Lattice Dynamics in Condensed Matter
This joint Summer School of the CRC/TRR 173 and CRC 1242 taking place from August 19 to 23, 2019, in Bad Honnef, Germany, aimed at introducing beginning and advanced graduate students to state-of-the-art theoretical and experimental concepts and achievements in this field.
Scope
Nowadays, external stimuli such as pulses of light, electrons and magnons are routinely used to drive condensed matter systems into strong non-equilibrium. While a lot has been learned from studying equilibrium situations, there is a quest to fully understand the time evolution of systems in non-equilibrium in order to learn how to steer such systems towards desired outcomes.
The advent of modern time-resolved experimental techniques makes this quest ever more exciting since they allow for accessing the spin, charge and lattice dynamics with femtosecond temporal and nanometer spatial resolution in diverse systems as e.g. magnetic and topological materials or highly-correlated matter.
