Stanford Free Electron Laser Materials Research: Picosecond Nonlinear Studies of Condensed Matter Systems
Abstract
The Stanford SCA/FEL is a powerful took which provides unique capabilities for conducting materials research. The FEL can be used to obtain information of fundamental importance on a wide variety of materials such as high temperature superconductors; semiconductors, including amorphous materials and multi quantum well structures; inorganic and organic crystals and glasses; biological materials, for example, hemoglobin, proteins, DNA, and membranes; surfaces and molecules on surfaces; polymeric solids and liquids. In all cases it is the unique operating characteristics of the SCA/FEL, providing single, high powered, picosecond pulses tunable across the IR spectrum, which makes it possible to probe matter with methods that have previously been impossible.
