WFU Physics Colloquium


Title:

Femtosecond time-resolved SHG studies of electron dyanmics in noble metals

Speaker:

Professor Eckart Matthias , Free University of Berlin, Department of Physics

Time:

2 PM, Friday, December 1, 1995

(Note change in date and time.)

Place:

Room 101, Olin Physical Laboratory


All interested persons are cordially invited. Refreshments will be served at 3:30 PM in the lounge.

Abstract:

Prof. Matthias will report on time-resolved SHG-measurements on polycrystalline samples of Cu, Ag, and Au, with photon energies near the interband transition threshold. The goal was to find out about the dependence on electron temperature of the nonlinear susceptibility. Knowledge about this dependence would allow to distinguish between the electron dynamics near the surface and in the bulk.
