Two prizes for Constantin Krüger

Published:08.10.20 — We are proud that Constantin received 2 awards at the occasion of his graduation – one for the best Master's thesis and one for the best grades in his year. 

New LND member

Published:08.10.20 — We are very pleased to welcome Constantin to our group. He is one of our own, having studied chemistry at the EPFL and having worked in our lab previously. Most recently, he completed his Master’s project at ETH where he developed new characterization tools in the field of attosecond spectroscopy.

Time-resolved transmission electron microscope

Published:07.10.20 — The manuscript entitled “Characterization of a time-resolved electron microscope with a Schottky field emission gun” has been accepted for publication in Structural Dynamics.

Intense microsecond electron pulses from a Schottky emitter

Published:12.06.20 — The manuscript 'Intense microsecond electron pulses from a Schottky emitter’ has been selected as an editor’s pick on Applied Physics Letters

New Phd member

Published:24.02.20 — Oliver did his Master's in Munich at the Technical University and the Ludwig-Maximilians-University, where he studied crystal growth and developed a passion for diffraction techniques, working with x-ray and neutron diffraction. He has since seen the light and decided that pulsed electrons are even cooler. We are excited he is joining our team!
