The student will do theoretical work on how non-linear effects of frequency conversion emerge from the Compton effect between electrons photons and plasmons.
Graphene is a 2D lattice of carbon atoms that exhibits extreme physical properties like for example massless charge carriers. The project will explore how basic light-matter interactions are changing when occurring inside 2D materials like graphene. The student will do theoretical work on how non-linear effects of frequency conversion emerge from the Compton effect between electrons photons and plasmons.
