Generation of high-fluence and high-intensity hard x-ray attosecond pulses at European XFEL

Ichiro Inoue, Ulrike Boesenberg, Rustam Rysov +41

By combining hard x-ray attosecond pulses from the European XFEL with total-reflection focusing x-ray optics, we generated nanofocused hard x-ray attosecond pulses with intensities…

Spatio-temporal migration of antiferromagnetic domain walls in Sr2IrO4

Ian Robinson, David Yang, Ross Harder +18

By laser pump-probe time-resolved coherent magnetic X-ray diffraction imaging, we have measured the migration velocity of antiferromagnetic domain walls in the Mott insulator Sr2Ir…

Depletion-Induced Interactions Modulate Nanoscale Protein Diffusion in Polymeric Crowder Solutions

Michelle Dargasz, Nimmi Das Anthuparambil, Sebastian Retzbach +26

Macromolecular crowding plays a crucial role in modulating protein dynamics in cellular and in vitro environments. Polymeric crowders such as dextran and Ficoll are known to induce…

Single-shot sorting of Mössbauer time-domain data at X-ray free-electron lasers

Miriam Gerharz, Willi Hippler, Berit Marx-Glowna +28

Mössbauer spectroscopy is widely used to study structure and dynamics of matter with remarkably high energy resolution, provided by the narrow nuclear resonance line widths. Howeve…

Probing the Linewidth of the 12.4-keV Sc Isomeric Resonance in Solids by Nuclear Forward Scattering

Peifan Liu, Miriam Gerharz, Berit Marx-Glowna +37

The Sc transition from the nuclear ground state to the 12.389-keV isomer (lifetime 0.46~s) has an ultranarrow natural linewidth $Γ_{\ind{0}}\simeq 1.4$~feV, corresponding to…

Ultrafast heat transfer in single palladium nanocrystals seen with an X-ray free-electron laser

David Yang, James Wrigley, Jack Griffiths +11

We report transient highly strained structural states in individual palladium (Pd) nanocrystals, electronically heated using an optical laser, which precede their uniform thermal e…

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…

Softness and Hydrodynamic Interactions Regulate Lipoprotein Transport in Crowded Yolk Environments

Nimmi Das Anthuparambil, Michelle Dargasz, Sonja Timmermann +27

Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) serve as nutrient reservoirs in egg yolk for embryonic development and as promising drug carriers. Both roles critically depend on their mobility in…

Origins of suppressed self-diffusion of nanoscale constituents of a complex liquid

Christian P. N. Tanner, Vivian R. K. Wall, Mumtaz Gababa +25

Understanding and ultimately controlling the transformations and properties of nanoscale systems, from proteins to synthetic nanomaterial assemblies, is limited by the inability to…
