Kelly Gaffney

Project type

Exploratory Research

We intend to study charge carrier dynamics in Cu2O with ultrafast soft x-ray pulses at the Advanced Light Source (ALS). These studies will involve measuring the evolution of laser excited electron…

Synthesis of photoactive metal oxide films for study using time-resolved x-ray techniques

Lead Institution

Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

Principal Investigator

Kelly Gaffney

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

We propose to study cuprous oxide thin film growth and expand the scope of the work to other transition-metal-oxide systems. Transition-metal oxides have many interesting photophysical and…
