Anna Galler (MPI Hamburg): A glimpse into the optical response of solids: from color pigments to laser-driven 2D materials
solids: from color pigments to laser-driven 2D materials Optical phenomena in solids are fascinating and of great importance for technological applications. In this talk, I will first present a novel approach [...] optical phenomena. I will investigate the response of monolayer hexagonal boron nitride, a prototypical 2D semiconductor, to intense ultrafast laser pulses. I will show that the conduction band charge occupation [...] states instead of the undressed matter states.
