Direct Observation of Ultrafast Non-thermal Melting by Ultrafast X-ray Diffraction [PDF]
Ultrafast nonthermal melting of femtosecond laser-irradiated germanium was observed directly for the first time using sub-picosecond, 1.54-angstrom x-ray diffraction. Such measurements allow the study of transient atomic motion fundamental to many processes in physics, chemistry, and biology.

Identification of the Decay Pathway of Photoexcited Nucleobases
The identification of the decay pathway of the nucleobase uracil after being photoexcited by ultraviolet light has been a long-standing problem. Various theoretical models have been proposed but yet to be verified. Here, we propose an experimental scheme

Ultrafast x-ray imaging of pulsed plasmas in water
Ultrafast x-ray imaging is useful for diagnosing a wide range of nanosecond-time scale physical processes, particularly those concealed by optical emission or otherwise opaque objects.

Local terahertz field enhancement for time-resolved x-ray diffraction [PDF]
We report local field strength enhancement of single-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses in an ultrafast time-resolved x-ray diffraction experiment. We show that patterning the sample with gold microstructures increases the THz field without changing the THz

Detection of Nonthermal Melting by Ultrafast X-ray Diffraction
Using ultrafast, time-resolved, 1.54 angstrom x-ray diffraction, thermal and ultrafast nonthermal melting of germanium, involving passage through nonequilibrium extreme states of matter, was observed. Such ultrafast, optical-pump, x-ray diffraction probe measurements provide a way to study many other transient processes in physics, chemistry, and ...

Structural and Magnetic Characterization of Large Area, Free-Standing Thin Films of Magnetic Ion Intercalated Dichalcogenides Mn0.25TaS2 and Fe0.25TaS2 [PDF]
Free-standing thin films of magnetic ion intercalated transition metal dichalcogenides are produced using ultramicrotoming techniques. Films of thicknesses ranging from 30nm to 250nm were achieved and characterized using transmission electron diffraction

Ultrafast methods have the ability to transiently decouple transitions between subsystems that evolve simultaneously at thermal equilibrium. Here, time-resolved X-ray diffraction reveals a time delay between volumetric and spin-state switching in a spin ...
