International Conference on Ultrafast Structural Dynamics (ICUSD)

Chairs:

Thomas Elsaesser, Max-Born-Institute, Germany

Majed Chergui, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland

The meeting covers the new and rapidly developing field of structure research in the ultrafast, i.e., femto- to picosecond time domain. Light induced structural dynamics are mapped in real-time by techniques such as x-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, and x-ray absorption, using femtosecond x-ray and/or electron pulses synchronized with optical pulses. Such structure research is complemented by nonlinear multidimensional spectroscopy to observe microscopic interactions and measure their strength. Structural dynamics in a very broad range of systems are elucidated and basic physical, chemical and biological processes are analyzed in a quantitative way, including theoretical calculations and simulations. Addressing such complex scientific problems requires the combination of knowledge and methodology from different fields in an interdisciplinary approach. The meeting serves as a platform for discussing the latest developments in this area, for establishing new collaborations and for giving early stage researchers the opportunity to present their work and get in touch with a broader community.

Topics:

• Generation of ultrashort x-ray and electron pulses
• Methods of ultrafast structural research
• Multidimensional electronic and vibrational spectroscopy
• Ultrafast structural dynamics of photoexcited systems in physics, chemistry, biology, and materials sciences
• Fluctuating equilibrium structures in the condensed phase
• Theory of ultrafast structural dynamics
