- This $484,537 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy research conducted by Professor Daniel Rolles at Kansas State University. The goal is to study nuclear and electronic dynamics during photochemical reactions in gas-phase molecules using x-ray free-electron lasers and high-order harmonic generation sources. This work aims to clarify reaction mechanisms...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $493,565 awarded on July 15, 2022 will support research into coherent control and analysis of atomic multi-photon processes at the Missouri University of Science and Technology through June 30, 2025. The research aims to advance established coherent control schemes and develop new methods to manipulate electron dynamics in photo-absorption processes using lithium atoms. Investigators will shape both the microscopic properties of femtosecond laser...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $490,771 CAREER grant to Kansas State University to develop a new experimental capability for observing and controlling the quantum behavior of electrons on attosecond timescales (billionths of a billionth of a second). The project, titled "CAREER: Table-Top Attosecond-Pump Attosecond-Probe Spectroscopy", aims to establish a high-flux attosecond-pump attosecond-probe spectroscopy platform using an industrial-grade, high-repetition-rate laser system. The research objectives include: (1) constructing and characterizing a compact, bright attosecond-pump attosecond-probe beamline; (2) measuring real-time electron-electron correlation dynamics in atoms; and (3) investigating coupled electronic-nuclear motion in molecular photodissociation. This project will provide a clearer view of the quantum processes underlying chemical reactions, light-driven materials changes, and future quantum technologies, while also engaging graduate and undergraduate students in cutting-edge laboratory research and integrating new discoveries into educational programs.
