Attosecond Science and Future Trends

Abstract

What are the final size and velocity limits of electronic data processing and magnetic information storage areas, and how can we approach these boundaries questions and the understanding and control of microscopic electron motion along with many scientific studies have led to the birth and progress of Attosecond Science.   The progress of ultrafast laser technology in recent years, the interaction process between the matter and the intense field play a key role in understanding how energy and charge are carried in atoms as well as in more complex solid and molecular systems.  This review study will focus on the basic concepts and experimental tools that allow to observe and control the atomic scale motion of electrons in real time, understand the theoretical models that are critical for combining experimental observability with microscopic variables, and the expected technological effects.  For this purpose, the role of nano and attosecond technologies in atomic and molecular physics, and condensed matter physics will be investigated and local literature sources will be presented about several important and recent current application areas of attosecond pulses.

Attosaniye Bilimi ve Gelecekteki Eğilimler

Abstract

Elektronik bilgi işleme, manyetik bilgi depolama alanlarının nihai boyut ve hız sınırları nedir ve bu sınırlara nasıl yaklaşabiliriz soruları ile mikroskobik düzeyde elektron hareketinin anlaşılması ve kontrolü üzerinde yapılan birçok bilimsel çalışma, attosaniye biliminin doğmasına ve ilerlemesine neden olmuştur.  Son yıllardaki ultra-hız lazer teknolojisinin ilerlemesi, enerji ve yükün sadece atomlarla değil, aynı zamanda daha karmaşık katı ve moleküler sistemlerde de nasıl taşındığını anlamak için madde ile yoğun alan arasındaki etkileşme süreci anahtar rol görevi görür.  Derleme olarak hazırlanan bu çalışmada, elektronların atomik ölçekli hareketini gerçek zamanlı olarak gözlemleme ve kontrol etme olanağı sağlayan temel kavramlar ve deneysel araçlar, deneysel gözlenebilirliğin mikroskobik değişkenlerle birleştirilmesi için kritik rol oynayan teorik modeller ve bunun beklenen teknolojik etkileri ele alınmıştır.  Bu amaçla, atom ve moleküler fiziği ile yoğun-madde fiziğinde nano ve attosaniye teknolojisinin rolü araştırılarak, attosaniyelik atımların birkaç önemli ve son güncel uygulama alanları hakkında yerel literatüre kaynak niteliğinde bilgi sunacaktır.
