Nonlinear spectroscopy and imaging methods are helping push the boundaries of our understanding of molecular systems, and Associate Professor Elad Harel’s lab at Michigan State University is developing cutting-edge spectroscopy and imaging tools to provide even greater insight into the chemical composition and electron dynamics at the nanometer-length scale.
Gaining a better understanding of the connection between microscopic interactions and their influence on macroscopic system properties within complex condensed-phase or solid-phase environments is essential to improve the design of next-gen catalysts, new small-molecule drugs, and novel optical materials with tailored functionality.
Many chemical and physical transformations are irreversible and non-repeatable, including chemical reactions, phase transformations, crystal growth and dissolution, and material damage.
Join us as Professor Harel presents his lab's development of massively parallel ultrafast imaging tools designed to track these types of changes within the lattice structure and carrier dynamics of solids undergoing these dynamic events in real-time.
