Claus Peter Schulz

Claus Peter Schulz is a Researcher at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy (MBI Berlin). His work focuses on atomic and molecular physics, particularly laser-matter interactions with nanoscale systems like fullerenes (C₆₀) and clusters. He has pioneered studies in ultrafast dynamics, femtosecond spectroscopy, and coherent control of molecular motion using tailored laser pulses.

Key research areas include the photoionization of sodium-water clusters, the excitation of giant breathing motion in C₆₀, and the theoretical modeling of highly charged fullerene cations under intense laser fields. Schulz has authored influential textbooks such as Atome, Moleküle und optische Physik, providing foundational knowledge in atomic and molecular physics.

His publications span experimental and theoretical investigations into ultrafast phenomena, including coherent phonon generation in doped fullerenes and attosecond-scale electronic dynamics. Schulz's work bridges fundamental physics with applications in nanotechnology and ultrafast laser science.
