Harald Schneider

PD Dr. habil. Harald Schneider serves as the Head of the Spectroscopy department at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). His research focuses on ultrafast phenomena in nanomaterials, terahertz spectroscopy of semiconductor systems, and nonlinear optical responses in low-dimensional materials. Key contributions include studies on nanowire axial heterostructures, strain effects in GaAs nanowires, and THz control of photoluminescence in layered materials like InSe and MoSe₂.

Notable research areas include:

• Terahertz-driven carrier dynamics in 2D materials
• Plasmonic effects in doped nanowires
• Insulator-metal transitions in VO₂ and NbO₂ under high pressures
• High-mobility electron transport in strained semiconductor nanostructures
