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.
