Article Synopsis
- Researchers used advanced momentum microscopy to investigate the electronic properties of the topological Dirac semimetal 1T-ZrTe, specifically focusing on the behavior of its Dirac cone above the Fermi level.
- They discovered the role of different scattering processes in how electrons relax, observing important electron-hole interactions and finding that the electrons' lifetime correlates linearly with their excess energy.
- The study offers new insights into the excited state dynamics of 1T-ZrTe, contributing to the understanding of ultrafast electron behaviors in 3D topological materials.
Chiral molecules, used in applications such as enantioselective photocatalysis, circularly polarized light detection and emission and molecular switches, exist in two geometrical configurations that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other. These so-called (R) and (S) enantiomers exhibit different physical and chemical properties when interacting with other chiral entities. Attosecond technology might enable influence over such interactions, given that it can probe and even direct electron motion within molecules on the intrinsic electronic timescale and thereby control reactivity.

This approach, dubbed Fourier-Hankel-Abel Nyquist-limited TOMography (FHANTOM), builds on recent previous work in tomographic image reconstruction [C. Sparling and D.
