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…

Direct High-Magnetic-Field Coupling to Stripe Order in a Cuprate Superconductor

Leonardo Martinelli, Izabela Biało, Jens Oppliger +47

Superconductivity in cuprates emerges out of a complex normal state that hosts density waves, pseudogap physics, and strange metal properties. Here, we access this normal state by…

A Momentum-Resolved X-ray Thomson Scattering Benchmark of Electronic-Response Models in Warm Dense Aluminium

Dmitrii S. Bespalov, Ulf Zastrau, Zhandos A. Moldabekov +58

The robust diagnosis of conditions generated in warm dense matter (WDM) experiments remains a persistent challenge. Here we describe the measurement of shock-compressed aluminium a…

Volume Collapse Without a Structural Transition in Shock-Compressed FeO

C. Crépisson, T. Stevens, M. Fitzgerald +121

We report x-ray diffraction and emission spectroscopy of FeO under laser-driven shock compression between 31-199 GPa. FeO retains the B1 (rocksalt) structure along the Hugoniot to…

Probing ultrafast heating and ionization dynamics in solid density plasmas with time-resolved resonant X-ray absorption and emission

Lingen Huang, Mikhail Mishchenko, Michal Šmíd +34

Heating and ionization are among the most fundamental processes in relativistic laser--solid interactions; however, their spatiotemporal evolution remains challenging to capture ex…

Iron spin crossover in ferropericlase and its effect on lower-mantle thermal conductivity

Alexander F. Goncharov, Irina Chuvashova, Eric Edmund +29

Thermal conductivity of Earths lower mantle controls heat transfer across the core-mantle boundary (CMB) and strongly influences mantle convection. We report direct measurements of…
