Crystallisation kinetics of supercooled liquid palladium
Zuzanna Kostera, Christian Bressler, Przemyslaw Dziegielewski +13
In this study, we employ classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the crystallisation kinetics of supercooled liquid palladium and relate the results to time-re…
Nanoscale Confinement Enhances Ultrafast Demagnetization
Yoav William Windsor, Tobias Lojewski, Moumita Kundu +22
Nanoscale miniaturization has revolutionized the field of spintronics by enabling exponential growth in areal bit density. A similar leap is also expected in device speeds through…
Femtosecond spin-state switching dynamics of spin-crossover molecules condensed in thin films
Lea Kämmerer, Gérald Kämmerer, Manuel Gruber +22
The photoinduced switching of Fe(II)-based spin-crossover complexes from singlet to quintet takes place at ultrafast time scales. This a priori spin-forbidden transition triggered…
Probing the atomic dynamics of ultrafast melting with femtosecond electron diffraction
M. Z. Mo, M. B. Maigler, T. Held +12
Melting is an everyday phase transition that is determined by thermodynamic parameters like temperature and pressure. In contrast, ultrafast melting is governed by the microscopic…
Orthogonal lattice distortions inside crystalline Si upon sub-threshold femtosecond laser-induced excitation
Angel RodrÃguez-Fernández, Jan-Etienne Pudell, Roman Shayduk +18
Material processing with femtosecond lasers has attracted enormous attention because of its potential for technology and industrial applications. In parallel, time-resolved x-ray d…
Laser-induced ultrafast structural transformations in thin Fe layer revealed by time-resolved X-ray diffraction
O. Liubchenko, J. Antonowicz, K. Sokolowski-Tinten +27
The ultrafast structural response of a thin iron film to sub-ps pulsed laser-induced heating has been investigated using time-resolved X-ray diffraction in the partial melting regi…
