Atomic force microscopy (AFM) with molecule-functionalized tips has emerged as the primary experimental technique for probing the atomic structure of organic molecules on surfaces. Most experiments have been limited to nearly planar…
Using electrostatic coupling between an AFM tip and a metallic surface as a test interaction, we here present the measurement of the force between the tip and the surface, together with the measurement of the interaction stiffness and the…
Event-based image sensors provide microsecond temporal resolution but lack spectral discrimination, whereas diffractive spectral imagers encode wavelength information at conventional frame rates. We introduce a fluorescence microscopy…
Light sources on the scale of single molecules can be addressed and characterized on their proper sub-nanometer scale by scanning tunneling microscopy induced luminescence (STML). Such a source can be driven by defined short charge pulses…
We perform high-resolution real-time read-out of the motion of a single trapped and laser-cooled Ba ion. By using an interferometric setup we demonstrate shot-noise limited measurement of thermal oscillations with resolution of 4 times the…
Ultrafast, time-resolved spectroscopies enable the direct observation of non-equilibrium processes in condensed-phase systems and have revealed key insights into energy transport, hydrogen-bond dynamics, and vibrational coupling. While ab…
The frequency comb of a multimode interferometer offers exceptional scalability potential for field-encoded quantum information. However, the staple field detection method, homodyne detection, cannot access quantum information in the whole…
An interferometric technique is proposed for determining the spatial forms of the individual degrees of freedom through which a many body system can absorb energy from its environment. The method separates out the coherent excitations…
Strong nonlinearity of a self-resonant radio frequency superconducting quantum interference device (rf-SQUID) meta-atom is explored via intermodulation (IM) measurements. Previous work in zero dc magnetic flux showed a sharp onset of IM…
Time- and angle-resolved extreme ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy is used to study the electronic structure dynamics in BaFe$_2$As$_2$ around the high-symmetry points $\Gamma$ and $M$. A global oscillation of the Fermi level at the…
Femtosecond optical pump-probe technique is used to study charge carrier dynamics in few-layer MoS2 samples fabricated by mechanical exfoliation. An ultrafast pump pulse excites carriers and differential reflection of a probe pulse tuned to…
We present a contactless method for measuring the elastic modulus of living cells (human triple-negative breast cancer, MDA-MB-231) from the thermal fluctuations of an atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever. By analyzing the power…
Ultrafast phenomena on a femtosecond timescale are commonly examined by pump-probe experiments. This implies multiple measurements where the sample under investigation is pumped with a short light pulse and then probed with a second pulse…
We present a simple, analytic model for pump-probe spectroscopy in dilute atomic gases. Our model treats multilevel atoms, takes several broadening mechanisms into account and, with no free parameters, shows excellent agreement with…
We demonstrate a simple single grating beam modulation technique, which enables the use of a highly intense neutron beam for phase imaging and thus spatially resolved structural correlation measurements in full analogy to quantum…
Optical tracking was used to characterize acoustic radiation force (ARF) induced displacements in a tissue-mimicking phantom. Amplitude modulated (AM) 3.3 MHz ultrasound was used to induce ARF in the phantom which was embedded with 10…
Ultrasound Atomic Force Microscopy (US-AFM) has been used for subsurface imaging of nanostructures. The contact stiffness variations have been suggested as the origin of the image contrast. Therefore, to analyze the image contrast, the…
An ongoing challenge in atomic force microscope (AFM) experiments is the quantitative measurement of cantilever motion. The vast majority of AFMs use the optical beam deflection (OBD) method to infer the deflection of the cantilever. The…
We describe a generalized algorithm for evaluating the steady-state solution of the density matrix equation of motion, for the pump-probe scheme, when two fields oscillating at different frequencies couple the same set of atomic transitions…
Studies of ultrafast dynamics along with femtosecond-pulse metrology rely on non-linear processes, induced solely by the exciting/probing pulses or the pulses to be characterized. Extension of these approaches to the extreme-ultraviolet…
