Just out – by peeling graphite layer by layer we uncover how ions recapture their electrons when moving through solid material. #TUWien tuvienna nature.com/articles/s4200…

Ever wondered what happens to a highly charged ion inside a material? By peeling graphite layer by layer we unravel how ions neutralise when going through a material. Communications Physics tuvienna doi.org/10.1038/s42005…

In our recent work, we tuvienna explain, how the sputtering yield depends on the surface roughness (important for #Fusion, #Astrophysics) doi.org/10.1016/j.apsu…

TUW_Wissenschaftler_innen haben den Einfluss der Rauigkeit einer Oberfläche beim #Sputtering untersucht. Mögliche Anwendungsgebiete: Fusionsforschung, astrophysikalische Studien, neue Modellierungsverfahren in der Industrie. Mehr dazu: tuwien.at/tu-wien/aktuel… #Sputter

1/n I am happy to announce that our paper on "Atomic spin-controlled non-reciprocal Raman amplification of fibre-guided light" with me as first author has been published in Nature Photonics: doi.org/10.1038/s41566… ⬇️More below⬇️

In our most recent joint paper with University of Helsinki & Universidad Politécnica de Madrid we demonstrate that nanocolumnar tungsten is indeed a promising option for a plasma facing materials in future fusion reactors due to a globally reduced sputtering. #TUWien, tuvienna, #Fusion doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

Superzeitlupe für Elektronen: Wenn geladene Teilchen eine Oberfläche durchschlagen, laufen in kürzester Zeit komplexe Prozesse ab. Einem Team der TU Wien gelang es, diese Phänomene erstmals zeitlich aufzulösen. tuwien.at/tu-wien/aktuel…

We are very happy that our paper go.aps.org/3rK772N has been marked as Editors' Suggestion by Physical Review Letters and is featured in American Physical Society go.aps.org/3SOxCQP. In this thread I try to explain our research using GIFs (1/7)
