Powerful New Tool Ushers In New Era of Quantum Materials Research

Credit: Fabio Boschini (INRS) Professor Fabio Boschini and his group at QMI-UBC have highlighted the TR-ARPES photoemission technique.Research into quantum materials is leading to advanced breakthroughs and is set to move technological progress that will transform industries such as mining, energy, transport, and medical technology.A technique called time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES) has actually emerged as an effective tool, allowing scientists to explore the equilibrium and dynamical properties of quantum products via light-matter interaction.Published in the worlds premier physics evaluation journal, Reviews of Modern Physics, a recent review paper by Professor Fabio Boschini from the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), along with associates Marta Zonno from Canadian Light Source (CLS) and Andrea Damascelli from UBCs Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (Blusson QMI), highlights that TR-ARPES has actually rapidly matured into an effective strategy over the last 2 decades.Andrea Damascelli.
