Prof. Sebastian Loth and his team have captured atomic-level electron motion in solids with unprecedented spatial and temporal precision, advancing materials research. Their findings may lead to more targeted material development by revealing how electron motion is influenced by atomic changes.
For the first time, Prof. Sebastian Loth and his team have captured the motion of electrons in solids at the atomic scale with exceptional spatial and temporal resolution, marking a significant advancement in materials research. Their findings have been published in Nature Physics.
“With the method we developed, we can make things visible that no one has seen before,” says Prof. Sebastian Loth, Managing Director of the Institute for Functional Matter and Quantum Technologies (FMQ) at the University of Stuttgart. “This makes it possible to settle questions about the movement of electrons in solids that have been unanswered since the 1980s.” However, the findings of Loth’s group are also of very practical significance for the development of new materials.
