Understanding the thermoelastic response of a nanostructure is crucial for the choice of materials and interfaces in electronic devices with improved and tailored transport propert…
Hard X-ray Transient Grating Spectroscopy on Bismuth Germanate
Jeremy R. Rouxel, Danny Fainozzi, Roman Mankowsky +44
Optical-domain Transient Grating (TG) spectroscopy is a versatile background-free four-wave-mixing technique used to probe vibrational, magnetic and electronic degrees of freedom i…
A high-efficiency programmable modulator for extreme ultraviolet light with nm feature size based on an electronic phase transition
Igor Vaskivskyi, Anze Mraz, Rok Venturini +11
The absence of efficient light modulators for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray photons significantly limits their real-life application, particularly when even slight complexity…
BGO relaxation dynamics probed with heterodyne detected optical transient gratings
Danny Fainozzi, Sara Catalini, Renato torre +2
We used optical laser pulses to create transient gratings (TGs) with sub-10 μm spatial periodicity in a Bismuth Germanate (310) (Bi4Ge3O12) single crystal at room temperature. The…
X-ray Circular Dichroism measured by cross-polarization X-ray Transient Grating
Jeremy R. Rouxel, Riccardo Mincigrucci, Danny Fainozzi +1
Measuring natural circular dichroism in the X-ray regime to extract stereochemical information from chiral molecules in solution remains a challenge. This is primarily due to techn…
Stimulated Brillouin scattering at 1 nm-1 wavevector by extreme ultraviolet transient gratings

We crossed two femtosecond extreme ultraviolet (EUV) pulses in a beta - Ga2O3 (001) single crystal to create transient gratings (TG) of light intensity with sub-100 nm spatial peri…
Three-dimensional coherent diffraction snapshot imaging using extreme ultraviolet radiation from a free electron laser
Danny Fainozzi, Matteo Ippoliti, Fulvio Billè +14
The possibility to obtain a three-dimensional representation of a single object with sub-m resolution is crucial in many fields, from material science to clinical diagnostics.…
Element- and enantiomer-selective visualization of ibuprofen dimer vibrations
R. Mincigrucci, Jeremy Rouxel, Barbara Rossi +19
In chemistry, biology and materials science, the ability to access interatomic interactions and their dynamical evolution has become possible with the advent of femtosecond lasers.…
Transient grating spectroscopy on a DyCo thin film with femtosecond extreme ultraviolet pulses

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are excited by femtosecond extreme ultraviolet (EUV) transient gratings (TGs) in a room-temperature ferrimagnetic DyCo alloy. TGs are generated by…
Ultrafast dynamics in (TaSe)I triggered by valence and core-level excitation
Wibke Bronsch, Manuel Tuniz, Giuseppe Crupi +16
In this work, we study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the paradigmatic quasi-one-dimensional material (TaSe)I, that exhibits a transition into an incommensurate CDW pha…
Effect of intense x-ray free-electron laser transient gratings on the magnetic domain structure of Tm:YIG
Victor Ukleev, Max Burian, Sebastian Gliga +13
Magnetic patterns can be controlled globally using fields or spin polarized currents. In contrast, the local control of the magnetization on the nanometer length scale remains chal…
