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…

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…

Strong geometry dependence of the X-ray Thomson Scattering Spectrum in single crystal silicon

Thomas Gawne, Zhandos A. Moldabekov, Oliver S. Humphries +17

We report on results from an experiment at the European XFEL where we measured the x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) spectrum of single crystal silicon with ultrahigh resolution. Com…
