Photoionisation dynamics in the presence of electric and magnetic fields encompasses a spectrum of phenomena whereby the interaction between light and matter triggers electron ejection, with ensuing ...

The photoelectric effect is one of the most fundamental light-matter interactions, which is widely used in probing ultrafast dynamics in atoms, molecules and condensed matters. It has been in the ...

The idea that light can behave as both a particle and a wave is one of the strange central concepts in quantum mechanics known as wave-particle duality. Towards the end of the 19 th century and the ...
