Femtosecond time-resolved experiments allow the real-time observation of atomic and molecular processes. Often however, these experiments tell only half the story: they show the motion of atoms moving under the influence of potential energy curves that result from a time-average over the motion of all electrons in the system. Real-time observation of these electrons requires recently developed attosecond laser techniques.
In my talk I will present results from recent experiments where isolated attosecond pulses and attosecond pulse trains are used to gain insight into electronic processes that occur in atoms and molecules on these ultrafast timescales. |
