Electron Dynamics at High-Energy Densities in Nickel from Non-linear Resonant X-ray Absorption Spectra

Robin Y. Engel, Oliver Alexander, Kaan Atak +40

The pulse intensity from X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) can create extreme excitation densities in solids, entering the regime of non-linear X-ray-matter interactions. We show L…
