Probing ultrafast laser plasma processes inside solids with resonant small-angle X-ray scattering
Lennart Gaus, Lothar Bischoff, Michael Bussmann +33
Extreme states of matter exist throughout the universe e.g. inside planetary cores, stars or astrophysical jets. Such conditions are generated in the laboratory in the interaction…

Impact of free electron degeneracy on collisional rates in plasmas
Gareth O. Williams, H. -K. Chung, S. Künzel +19
Degenerate plasmas, in which quantum effects dictate the behavior of free electrons, are ubiquitous on earth and throughout space. Transitions between bound and free electron state…

Observation of a metastable intermediate during solid-solid phase transformation in response to rapid compression
Michael R. Armstrong, Harry B. Radousky, Ryan A. Austin +23
In order to probe the mechanism of solid-solid phase transformations, we have applied ultrafast shock wave compression (120 picosecond duration) and ultrashort (130 femtosecond) x-…
