Second-order microscopic nonlinear susceptibility in a centrosymmetric material: application to imaging valence electron motion
Chance Ornelas-Skarin, Tatiana Bezriadina, Matthias Fuchs +10
We report measurements of phase-matched nonlinear x-ray and optical sum-frequency generation from single-crystal silicon using sub-resonant 0.95 eV laser pulses and 9.5 keV hard x-…
Terahertz-Driven Phonon Upconversion in SrTiO3
Michael Kozina, Michael Fechner, Premysl Marsik +8
Direct manipulation of the atomic lattice using intense long-wavelength laser pulses has become a viable approach to create new states of matter in complex materials. Conventionall…
Generation of highly mutually coherent hard x-ray pulse pairs with an amplitude-splitting delay line
Haoyuan Li, Yanwen Sun, Joan Vila-Comamala +11
Beam splitters and delay lines are among the key building blocks of modern-day optical laser technologies. Progress in x-ray free electron laser source development and applications…
Hard X-ray Generation and Detection of Nanometer-Scale Localized Coherent Acoustic Wave Packets in SrTiO and KTaO
Yijing Huang, Peihao Sun, Samuel W. Teitelbaum +21
We demonstrate that the absorption of femtosecond x-ray pulses can excite quasi-spherical high-wavevector coherent acoustic phonon wavepackets using an all x-ray pump and probe sca…
Generation of Intense Phase-Stable Femtosecond Hard X-ray Pulse Pairs
Yu Zhang, Thomas Kroll, Clemens Weninger +24
Coherent nonlinear spectroscopies and imaging in the X-ray domain provide direct insight into the coupled motions of electrons and nuclei with resolution on the electronic length a…
Generation of high-fluence and high-intensity hard x-ray attosecond pulses at European XFEL
Ichiro Inoue, Ulrike Boesenberg, Rustam Rysov +41
The paper reports the generation of nanofocused hard‑x‑ray attosecond pulses at the European XFEL with peak intensities around 10^20 W/cm², verified via saturation of amplified spo…
