Ultra-high speed camera for molecules: Attosecond spectroscopy captures electron transfer dynamics

Posted by in categories: quantum physics, solar power, sustainability

In nature, photosynthesis powers plants and bacteria; within solar panels, photovoltaics transform light into electric energy. These processes are driven by electronic motion and imply charge transfer at the molecular level. The redistribution of electronic density in molecules after they absorb light is an ultrafast phenomenon of great importance involving quantum effects and molecular dynamics.
