Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- High energy photon colliders (gammagamma,gammae) are based on e(-)e(-) linear colliders where high energy photons are produced using Compton scattering of laser light on high energy electrons just before the interaction point. This paper is a part of the Technical Design Report of the linear collider TESLA.(1) Physics program, possible parameters and some technical aspects of the photon collider at TESLA are discussed.

- We present a sub-picosecond resolved investigation of the structural solvent reorganization and geminate recombination dynamics following 400 nm two-photon excitation and photodetachment of a valence p electron from the aqueous atomic solute, I-(aq). The measurements utilized time-resolved X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (TR-XANES) spectroscopy and X-ray Solution Scattering (TR-XSS) at the Linac Coherent Light Source x-ray free electron laser in a laser pump/x-ray probe experiment. The XANES measurements around the L1-edge of the generated nascent iodine atoms (I0) yield an average electron ejection distance from the iodine parent of 7.4 ± 1.5 Å with an excitation yield of about 1/3 of the 0.1M NaI aqueous solution. The kinetic traces of the XANES measurement are in agreement with a purely diffusion-driven geminate iodine-electron recombination model without the need for a long-lived (I0:e-) contact pair. Nonequilibrium classical molecular dynamics simulations indicate a delayed response of the caging H2O solvent shell and this is supported by the structural analysis of the XSS data: We identify a two-step process exhibiting a 0.1 ps delayed solvent shell reorganization time within the tight H-bond network and a 0.3 ps time constant for the mean iodine-oxygen distance changes. The results indicate that most of the reorganization can be explained classically by a transition from a hydrophilic cavity with a well-ordered first solvation shell (hydrogens pointing toward I-) to an expanded cavity around I0 with a more random orientation of the H2O molecules in a broadened first solvation shell.

Unravelling the Role of Electric and Magnetic Dipoles in Biosensing with Si Nanoresonators

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- High refractive index dielectric nanoresonators are attracting much attention due to their ability to control both electric and magnetic components of light. Due to the combination of confined modes with reduced absorption losses, they have recently been proposed as an alternative to nanoplasmonic biosensors. In this context, we study the use of semirandom silicon nanocylinder arrays, fabricated with simple and scalable colloidal lithography for the efficient and reliable detection of biomolecules in biological samples. Interestingly, electric and magnetic dipole resonances are associated with two different transduction mechanisms: extinction decrease and resonance red shift. By contrasting both observables, we identify clear advantages in tracking changes in the extinction magnitude. Our data demonstrate that, despite its simplicity, the proposed platform is able to detect prostate-specific antigen in human serum with limits of detection meeting clinical needs.
