Physics of Disordered Systems Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies liquid metals and clusters using synchrotron radiation and XFEL.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the properties of matter with no definite form.
The Physics of Disordered Systems Lab studies liquids and clusters (aggregates of a few to tens of thousands of atoms) in which electrons and atoms are strongly correlated.
A characteristic of disordered systems is the freedom in how atoms are arranged, which allows many kinds of aggregation, from atoms and molecules to clusters and further to condensed matter.
The lab uses synchrotron radiation and X-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL) to investigate their microscopic and macroscopic properties.
Key terms
- Cluster
- A small aggregate of a few to tens of thousands of atoms or molecules
- Supercritical state
- A state at high temperature and pressure in which liquid and gas can no longer be distinguished
- X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL)
- An X-ray laser produced with an accelerator, with very bright and extremely short pulses
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies liquids and clusters in which the electronic and atomic systems are strongly correlated, investigating their microscopic and macroscopic properties by making full use of synchrotron radiation and X-ray free-electron lasers.
*Illustrative imageMetal–Insulator Transition in Fluid Metals
When a liquid metal is expanded to a supercritical state, where liquid and gas can no longer be distinguished, it undergoes a transition from metal to insulator. To clarify the mechanism, the lab measures the structure and electronic states using synchrotron radiation.
*Illustrative imageCharge Dynamics of Clusters
The lab studies the interaction between clusters and the ultra-bright, ultrashort X-ray pulses of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFEL).
