May 2024 - New group member in the slicing team

Deeksha Gupta has recently joined as a postdoctoral fellow at the Femtoslicing beamline, BESSYII. Miss Gupta earned her PhD from the Institut de Physique et Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg at the University of Strasbourg, France, in Spring 2024. Her doctoral research concentrated on investigating ultrafast magnetization dynamics induced by spin-polarized electrons in transition metal-rare earth alloy systems.  At BESSY II, she continues her research in the field of ultrafast magnetization dynamics at the Femtoslicing-facility. Here, her activities will focus on projects of the Transregio 227 "Ultrafast spin Dynamics" by which her position is funded.

July 2024 - summer student accompanies the IRIS-Beamline group for two months

Eduardo Montoya Gonzales from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg joined the IRIS-Beamline group in terms of the international summer school program 2024, organized by Helmholtz-Centre Berlin for Materials and Energy. During his stay he will master and use infrared spectroscopy and microscopy to reveal the changes in the glass structure that happen upon chemical strengthening of glasses. This technology is of high practical importance and, for example, used for manufacturing strong and crack-resistant glasses for smartphones. The results will help to develop even stronger glasses suitable for a wide range of applications.
Eduardo is supervised by Dr. Alexander Veber.
