Mer information
The Advanced Multilayer X-ray Optics group at CFEL is one of the leading research groups developing novel X-ray lenses and gratings with nanometre control. As part of a collaborative project between Hamburg and Trento we plan to combine these elements with attosecond-duration X-ray laser pulses to image, understand and ultimately control electron dynamics in molecular systems. We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to develop an attosecond X-ray interferometer to measure ultrafast responses of materials and molecules and to help create movies of electron dynamics for the first time.
About your role:
- Develop and test a novel X-ray interferometer
- Develop and test low-aberration multilayer Laue lens (MLL) systems for XFELs
- Develop new interferometric methodologies using lab sources, synchrotrons and XFELs
- Conduct scientific experiments at various X-ray facilities
- Communicate findings via publications and presentations
