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…

Low temperature state in strontium titanate microcrystals using in situ multi-reflection Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction imaging
David Yang, Ana F. Suzana, Longlong Wu +12
Strontium titanate is a classic quantum paraelectric oxide material that has been widely studied in bulk and thin films. It exhibits a well-known cubic-to-tetragonal antiferrodisto…
