Ultrafast dynamics in quantum matter at SwissFEL: capabilities of Furka endstation (Invited Paper)
On demand | Presented live 27 April 2023 
Abstract
Time-resolved spectroscopies have provided insights in the quest for understanding the fundamental properties of quantum materials and towards controlling their functional properties through light-matter interaction. In this regard, Free Electrons Lasers (FELs) have developed as a powerful tool to perform ultrafast x-ray spectroscopy to obtain energy and momentum-resolved information. In this contribution, we introduce the SwissFEL soft-x-ray condensed matter experimental endstation, named Furka, which is dedicated to Time-Resolved X-ray Absorption (TR-XAS), resonant X-Ray Diffraction (TR-RXRD) and Resonant Inelastic x-ray Scattering (TR-RIXS) experiments to study quantum materials. The current status of the endstation and the first results from the commissioning phase will also be discussed.

Dr. Elia Razzoli joined SwissFEL in February 2019. Since January 2021, he is a group leader of the "Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Condensed Matter" group at the FURKA endstation of ATHOS beamline of SwissFEL facility. His bachelor and Master degrees are from Politecnico di Milano. His Phd is from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, where he used angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy to study unconventional superconductors. During his post-doc, at Université de Fribourg, he investigated 2D van der Waals materials by laser-ARPES and STM. In 2016 he was awarded the "Advanced-Postdoc mobility Fellowship" by the Swiss National Science Foundation and joined to group of Prof. Damascelli in University of British Columbia (UBC - Vancouver, Canada) to study strongly correlated materials and topological matter by ultrafast techniques and resonant X-ray diffraction.
