Press release: Light swirls provide insights into the quantum world
Photoelectric effect with a twist |
|
|
A new method uses swirls of light to enable researchers to observe previously invisible quantum states of electrons. The method was developed by physicists from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and an international team of researchers. It promises to deliver new insights into electron motion, which is crucial in understanding material properties such as electrical conductivity, magnetism and molecular structures. The free electron laser FERMI at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste in Italy, was used to provide experimental proof and the results were published in the journal "Nature Photonics".
