Ultrafast Dissipative Localization of Electronic Energy in AuPt Superlattices
C. Walz, M. Mattern, J. -E. Pudell +15
Controlling the spatial distribution of absorbed optical energy is central to nanoscale photothermal chemistry, plasmonics, and ultrafast materials control. Here, we show that a me…
Experimental evidence of dominant ultrafast diffusive energy transport by hot electrons in Cu
Jasmin Jarecki, Lisa Mehner, Maximilian Mattern +15
When the dimensions of structures shrink to the order of the inelastic mean free path of the energy-carrying quasi-particles, the character of energy transport changes from diffusi…
Ultrafast X-ray sonography reveals the spatial heterogeneity of the laser-induced magneto-structural phase transition in FeRh
Maximilian Mattern, Angel Rodriguez-Fernandez, Roman Shayduk +13
Phase transitions are governed by both intrinsic and extrinsic heterogeneities, yet capturing their spatio-temporal dynamics remains a challenge. While ultrafast techniques track p…
Unveiling the nanomorphology of HfN thin films by ultrafast reciprocal space mapping
Steffen Peer Zeuschner, Jan-Etienne Pudell, Maximilian Mattern +5
Hafnium Nitride (HfN) is a promising and very robust alternative to gold for applications of nanoscale metals. Details of the nanomorphology related to variations in strain states…
Coherent control of magnetization precession by double-pulse activation of effective fields from magnetoacoustics and demagnetization
M. Mattern, F. -C. Weber, D. Engel +2
We demonstrate the coherent optical control of magnetization precession in a thin Ni film by a second excitation pulse which amplifies or attenuates the precession induced by a fir…
Controlling effective field contributions to laser-induced magnetization precession by heterostructure design
Jasmin Jarecki, Maximilian Mattern, Fried-Conrad Weber +6
Nanoscale heterostructure design can control laser-induced heat dissipation and strain propagation as well as their efficiency for driving magnetization precession. We use insulati…
Non-thermal electrons open the non-equilibrium pathway of the phase transition in FeRh
Maximilian Mattern, Steffen Peer Zeuschner, Matthias Rössle +3
We use ultrafast x-ray diffraction to study non-equilibrium pathways of the phase transition in FeRh parametrized by the structural response. By increasing the pump-pulse duration…
Concepts and use cases for picosecond ultrasonics with x-rays
Maximilian Mattern, Alexander von Reppert, Steffen Peer Zeuschner +3
This review discusses picosecond ultrasonics experiments using ultrashort hard x-ray probe pulses to extract the transient strain response of laser-excited nanoscopic structures fr…
Emission of coherent THz magnons in an antiferromagnetic insulator triggered by ultrafast spin-phonon interactions
E. Rongione, O. Gueckstock, M. Mattern +17
Antiferromagnetic materials have been proposed as new types of narrowband THz spintronic devices owing to their ultrafast spin dynamics. Manipulating coherently their spin dynamics…
