Welcome to the Huber group at the University of Regensburg!
Many of the fundamental laws and unexpected phenomena in condensed matter physics are caused by extremely fast dynamics of electrons and ions on the femtosecond time (1 fs = 10-15 s) and terahertz frequency scale (1 THz = 1012 Hz). Unravelling such ultrafast processes is the main interest of our research. We develop next-generation, high-intensity femtosecond laser sources and THz technology, and employ them to explore novel femtophysics.

In a collaboration with the groups of Ermin Malic, John Lupton, and Janina Maultzsch, we resolved the internal atom-like structure of excitons in a stack of two atomically thin monolayers of WSe2. Merely by changing the stacking angle, we find a drastic renormalization of the binding energy and lifetime as well as a highly tunable exciton-exciton interaction. These results pave the way for tailoring novel phases of matter in a broad range of van der Waals heterostructures.

Congratulations to Christoph Lange who has just started a new chair entitled "THz spectroscopy" at the Technische Universität Dortmund, beginning April 1, 2020. In his new group, Christoph will pursue new directions of THz cavity quantum electrodynamics on the subcycle scale. We wish him all the best for a successful start and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration!...

We can now quantify the electric field distribution in the vicinity of an oscillating tip of a near-field microscope, which is a crucial prerequisite for performing quantitative nano-tomography and for expanding the limits of the lateral resolution.
The results are reported in ACS Photonics....
