Monitoring nonadiabatic avoided crossing dynamics in molecules by ultrafast X-ray diffraction [PDF]
We examine time-resolved X-ray diffraction from molecules in the gas phase which undergo nonadiabatic avoided-crossing dynamics involving strongly coupled electrons and nuclei.

Observation of a single protein by ultrafast X-ray diffraction [PDF]
The idea of using ultrashort X-ray pulses to obtain images of single proteins frozen in time has fascinated and inspired many. It was one of the arguments for building X-ray free-electron lasers.

Low-temperature nanoscale heat transport in a gadolinium iron garnet heterostructure probed by ultrafast x-ray diffraction [PDF]
Time-resolved x-ray diffraction has been used to measure the low-temperature thermal transport properties of a Pt/Gd3Fe5O12//Gd3Ga5O12 metal/oxide heterostructure relevant to applications in spin caloritronics.

Non-linear enhancement of ultrafast X-ray diffraction through transient resonances [PDF]
Diffraction-before-destruction imaging with ultrashort X-ray pulses can visualize non-equilibrium processes, such as chemical reactions, with sub-femtosecond precision in the native environment.

Soft-mode driven polarity reversal in ferroelectrics mapped by ultrafast x-ray diffraction [PDF]
Quantum theory has linked microscopic currents and macroscopic polarizations of ferroelectrics, but the interplay of lattice excitations and charge dynamics on atomic length and time scales is an open problem.

Ultrafast X-ray diffraction probe of terahertz field-driven soft mode dynamics in SrTiO3 [PDF]
We use ultrafast X-ray pulses to characterize the lattice response of SrTiO3 when driven by strong terahertz fields. We observe transient changes in the diffraction intensity with a delayed onset with respect to the driving field ...

Theory and simulation of far field diffraction patterns in Talbot-based transient grating spectroscopy at X-ray free electron lasers [PDF]
The recent extension of transient grating (TG) spectroscopy to the X-ray regime at X-ray free electron lasers (XFEL) facilities has opened new possibilities for studying ultrafast dynamics and nanoscale transport.
