Due to their high energy density, great safety and eco-friendliness, zinc-air batteries (ZABs)
attract much attention. During the process of charging and discharging, the two key …

The advent of free-electron lasers (FELs) in the soft-and hard-x-ray spectral regions has
introduced the possibility to probe electronic, magnetic, and structural dynamics, in both …

To celebrate the scientific achievement of Jo Stöhr, I present here a personal account of the
use of x-ray absorption spectroscopy to probe dynamics on surfaces using x-ray lasers. In …

We report on carbon monoxide desorption and oxidation induced by 400 nm femtosecond
laser excitation on the O/Ru (0001) surface probed by time-resolved x-ray absorption …

From the historical roots of metalworking to the forefront of modern nanotechnology,
functional materials have played a pivotal role in transforming societies, and their influence …

KAOS, the Kirkpatrick-Baez Active Optical System, is the flagship optical system of FERMI,
the first—and presently only—fully seeded Free Electron Laser facility in the world. KAOS …

Molecular motion at metallic surfaces is affected by nonadiabatic effects and electron-
phonon coupling. The ensuing energy dissipation and dynamical steering effects are not …

A novel method of ultrafast electron diffraction for the study of structural dynamics at surfaces
is presented. The probing electron pulse is generated in the immediate vicinity of the surface …

Using many-body perturbation theory and density functional perturbation theory, we study
the vibrational spectra of the internal stretch (IS) mode of CO on Pd (111) for the bridge and …

The relentless pursuit of understanding matter at ever-finer scales has pushed optical
microscopy to surpass the diffraction limit and realize super-resolution microscopy, which …
