Probing laser-driven surface and subsurface dynamics via grazing-incidence XFEL scattering and diffraction

Lisa Randolph, Özgül Öztürk, Dmitriy Ksenzov +34

We demonstrate a grazing-incidence x-ray platform that simultaneously records time-resolved grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS) and grazing-incidence x-ray diff…

(Sub-)picosecond surface correlations of femtosecond laser excited Al-coated multilayers observed by grazing-incidence x-ray scattering

Lisa Randolph, Mohammadreza Banjafar, Toshinori Yabuuchi +22

Femtosecond high-intensity laser pulses at intensities surpassing can generate a diverse range of functional surface nanostructures. Achieving prec…

The importance of temperature-dependent collision frequency in PIC simulation on nanometric density evolution of highly-collisional strongly-coupled dense plasmas

Mohammadreza Banjafar, Lisa Randolph, Lingen Huang +17

Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method is a powerful plasma simulation tool for investigating high-intensity femtosecond laser-matter interaction. However, its simulation capability at high…

Nanoscale subsurface dynamics of solids upon high-intensity laser irradiation observed by femtosecond grazing-incidence x-ray scattering

Lisa Randolph, Mohammadreza Banjafar, Thomas R. Preston +28

Observing ultrafast laser-induced structural changes in nanoscale systems is essential for understanding the dynamics of intense light-matter interactions. For laser intensities on…
