Welcome to the Huber group at the University of Regensburg!
Many of the fundamental laws and unexpected phenomena in condensed matter physics are caused by extremely fast dynamics of electrons and ions on the femtosecond time (1 fs = 10-15 s) and terahertz frequency scale (1 THz = 1012 Hz). Unravelling such ultrafast processes is the main interest of our research. We develop next-generation, high-intensity femtosecond laser sources and THz technology, and employ them to explore novel femtophysics.

Using photoelectron momentum microscopy, we have mapped the complete two-dimensional band structure of the van der Waals crystal NbOCl₂. Our measurements reveal an almost perfectly flat band that spans the entire momentum space and is well separated from all other, dispersive bands. This uniquely isolated flat band establishes NbOCl₂ as an ideal platform for investigating correlation-driven phenomena, as well as for exploring the role of dispersionless quasiparticles in lightwave electronics and light-induced band engineering.
The results have been obtained in in close collaboration with the group of Ulrich Höfer (Philipps-University Marburg, University of Regensburg) and have been published in Communications Materials.

In close collabortaion with the groups of Christoph Lange (TU Dortmund) and Sergey Ganichev (UR), we were able to use contact-free broadband THz magneto-spectroscopy to map the Dirac cone of buried HgTe quantum wells with sub-meV precision, revealing small band gaps and the onset of relativistic Landau quantization.
The results have been published in Applied Physics Letters.
