Probing the atomic dynamics of ultrafast melting with femtosecond electron diffraction
M. Z. Mo, M. B. Maigler, T. Held +12
Melting is an everyday phase transition that is determined by thermodynamic parameters like temperature and pressure. In contrast, ultrafast melting is governed by the microscopic…
Non-equilibrium self-assembly of spin-wave solitons in FePt nanoparticles
D. Turenne, A. Yaroslavtsev, X. Wang +36
Magnetic nanoparticles such as FePt in the L10-phase are the bedrock of our current data storage technology. As the grains become smaller to keep up with technological demands, the…
Conformer-specific Chemistry Imaged in Real Space and Time
E. G. Champenois, D. M. Sanchez, J. Yang +17
Conformational isomers or conformers of molecules play a decisive role in chemistry and biology. However, experimental methods to investigate chemical reaction dynamics are typical…
Femtosecond compression dynamics and timing jitter suppression in a terahertz-driven electron bunch compressor
E. C. Snively, M. A. K. Othman, M. Kozina +8
We present the first demonstration of THz-driven bunch compression and timing stabilization of a few-fC relativistic electron beam with kinetic energy of 2.5 MeV using quasi-single…
Nanopatterned electron beams for temporal coherence and deterministic phase control of x-ray free-electron lasers
W. S. Graves, S. L. Y. Chang, D. Dwyer +11
We demonstrate the ability to create electron beams with high-contrast, nanometer-scale density modulations as a first step toward developing full control of the phase fronts of an…
Theoretical and experimental electron diffraction intensity maps for single crystal silicon from an ultrafast source
L. E. Malin, W. S. Graves, M. Holl +5
Electron diffraction through a thin patterned silicon membrane can be used to create complex spatial modulations in electron distributions by varying the intensity of different ref…
Photoinduced ultrafast dynamics of local nematicity and lattice distortions in FeSe crystals
T. Konstantinova, L. Wu, M. Abeykoon +12
Formation of electronic nematicity is a common thread of unconventional superconductors. In iron-based materials, the long-range nematic order is revealed by the orthorhombic latti…
Imaging the Photochemical Ring-Opening of 1,3-Cyclohexadiene by Ultrafast Electron Diffraction
T. J. A. Wolf, D. M. Sanchez, J. Yang +20
The ultrafast photoinduced ring-opening of 1,3-cyclohexadiene constitutes a textbook example of electrocyclic reactions in organic chemistry and a model for photobiological reactio…
Terahertz-based attosecond metrology of relativistic electron beams
R. K. Li, M. C. Hoffmann, E. A. Nanni +9
Photons, electrons, and their interplay are at the heart of photonic devices and modern instruments for ultrafast science [1-10]. Nowadays, electron beams of the highest intensity…
