Institute for Electronic Structure Dynamics
Infrared Group
The infrared group is operating the infrared beamline IRIS and its end stations and provides support to external and internal users. High brilliance infrared radiation allows for high lateral resolution micro- and nano-spectroscopy measurements in the mid infrared spectral range whereas the significantly improved photon flux particularly in the low alpha-coherent synchrotron radiation benefits the far infrared/THz region. The users applications encompass a wide range of samples and scientific fields spanning from life and material sciences to solid-state physics.
The group is continously working on developing new and upgrading already available methods and end-stations in mid-, far-infrared and THz spectral regions to best benefit from the unique combination of high photon flux and small analytical spot size over a broad infrared spectral region.
