Why are Pump Probe Experiments Important in Nanotechnology?
In the realm of nanotechnology, materials exhibit unique properties that are not present in their bulk counterparts. Understanding these properties often requires observing processes that occur on femtosecond (10^-15 seconds) to picosecond (10^-12 seconds) timescales. Pump probe experiments provide the temporal resolution needed to capture these rapid phenomena, making them invaluable for studying nanomaterials.
