Optical Condensed Matter Physics
We use optical spectroscopy to study a wide range of ultrafast phenomena in organic materials at nanoscopic lengths and femtosecond (0.000000000000001 s) time scale, with the main focus on exciton and charge dynamics in energy-related and bio-inspired materials.
Organization
The research group Optical Condensed Matter Physics is part of the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials, a research institute within the Faculty of Science and Engineering of the University of Groningen.

Recent highlights of our research
A Nature research highlight, titled "Versatile molecular motor pulls off two feats instead of the usual one", can be found here
Our University posted a nice "Science Lynx News" article (for a broad public) on fluorescing rotary motors, which were made in the Feringa Laboratory.
Spectroscopic analysis of these fluorescing rotary motors was done in the OCMP group of Prof. Phenitchnikov.
