In 1905, Albert Einstein explained the photoelectric effect by introducing the now famous particle concept for light. It became quickly clear that the electrons emitted from a substance irradiated with X-ray light carry the chemical ‘fingerprint’ of the material.
About 50 years later the Swedish physicist Kai Siegbahn pioneered photoelectron spectroscopy as an advanced analytical tool to unravel the elemental composition of condensed matter. Today, this method is routinely used in all modern materials science laboratories. At FLASH it is developed further for the study of ultrafast dynamic processes in nanomaterials.
We would be very pleased if you could join us in "Celebrating FLASH" at DESY! Please register until 14 May 2015.
