What is Pump-Probe Transient Reflectivity in Condensed Matter Experiment?

  • Thread starter kevmeister
  • Start date
In summary, pump-probe transient reflectivity is a technique used in condensed matter experiments to study the dynamics of electronic and structural changes in materials. It involves shining an intense laser pulse (the pump) onto a material, which excites the electrons and creates a transient state. A second weaker laser pulse (the probe) is then used to measure the reflectivity of the material and capture the changes in the material's properties during the transient state. This technique allows researchers to study the ultrafast dynamics of materials, such as the behavior of electrons and atoms, and has many applications in fields such as physics, chemistry, and materials science.

Hello!
I am a 3rd year PhD student in condensed matter experiment. I work on pump-probe, transient reflectivity. Looking forward to engage with my fellow physics community members!
