Laser-initiated electron and heat transport in gold-skutterudite CoSb bilayers resolved by pulsed x-ray scattering
Anton Plech, Peter Gaal, Daniel Schmidt +5
Electron and lattice heat transport have been investigated in bilayer thin films of gold and CoSb after photo-excitation of the nanometric top gold layer through picosecond x-r…

Strain Wave Pathway to Semiconductor-to-Metal Transition revealed by time resolved X-ray powder diffraction
C. Mariette, M. Lorenc, H. Cailleau +42
Thanks to the remarkable developments of ultrafast science, one of today's challenges is to modify material state by controlling with a light pulse the coherent motions that connec…

Demonstration of a picosecond Bragg switch for hard x-rays in a synchrotron-based pump-probe experiment
M. Sander, R. Bauer, V. Kabanova +5
We report a benchmark experiment that demonstrates shortening of hard x-ray pulses in a synchrotron-based optical pump - x-ray probe experiment. The pulse shortening device, a pico…
