To address "Hot topics in ultrafast science", LUXEM organized 3 guest lectures from internationally recognized experts in: Ultrafast Electron Microscopy - Dr. Gianmaria Vanacore, Univerista' di Milano Bicocca Ultrafast Spectroscopy - Dr. Laura Cattaneo, Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik - Heidelberg Ultrafast Science at Free-Electron Lasers and synchrotrons - Dr. Camila Bacellar - SwissFEL, Paul Scherrer Institut

The Ultrafast Laser system and EUV source is shipped and installed in our Lab in Pavia!

We provide a comprehensive atomic-scale description of the purely thermal response of lead-halide perovskites in a temperature range relevant for realistic applications. Thermal-induced changes are rationalized in terms of displacive phase transitions, which are a consequence of the phonon anharmonicity of the inorganic lattice. Find out more

The “Incontri di Fisica Moderna” organized by the Physics Department, University of Pavia, are open Bachelor and Master students. Giulia Mancini contributes with a talk entitled: “Ultrafast lasers: new laboratory-scale synchrotrons”. Find out more

Dr. Bevis MSCA project DECIPHER is awarded funding from the HORIZON-MSCA-2021-PF-01-01 Action. Fostering excellence in research & innovation, this prestigious recognition from the EU will enable Dr. Bevis to work in a joint collaboration across LUXEM (Italy), LUMES (Switzerland) and DrX Works (The Netherlands) toward advances in ultrafast electron imaging.
