X-ray Driven Trihydrogen Formation on Silica Nanosurfaces
Samuel Sahel-Schackis, Adam Summers, Ritika Dagar +29
The trihydrogen cation () initiates the ion-molecule reactions that build molecular complexity in interstellar space. Whether its canonical formation reaction, $\ma…
Photoinduced enhancement of chemical shift sensitivity to local vibrations
Ana MartÃnez Gutiérrez, Oliver Alexander, Pablo Estévez Alonso +26
The advent of novel free-electron laser sources enabling time-resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (tr-XPS) provides a unique opportunity to monitor local chemical environment…
Dichography: Two-frame Ultrafast Imaging from a Single Diffraction Pattern
Linos Hecht, Andre Al Haddad, Björn Bastian +47
We experimentally demonstrate that pairs of time-delayed ultrabright and ultrashort X-ray pulses of two different colors, delivered by modern X-ray Free Electron Lasers, can provid…
Unraveling real-time chemical shifts in the ultrafast regime
Daniel E. Rivas, Lorenzo Paoloni, Rebecca Boll +21
Traditional x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) relies upon a direct mapping between the photoelectron binding energies and the local chemical environment, which is well-charact…
Enhanced One-Color-Two-Photon Resonant Ionization in Highly Charged Ions by Fine-Structure Effects
Moto Togawa, Chunhai Lyu, Chintan Shah +25
Ultraintense pulses from X-ray free-electron lasers can drive, within femtoseconds, multiple processes in the inner shells of atoms and molecules in all phases of matter. The ensui…
Model-free pattern separation of two-color ultrafast X-ray diffraction
Linos Hecht, Yevheniy Ovcharenko, Asbjørn Ã. Lægdsmand +33
Two-color X-ray imaging with Free Electron Laser pulses offers a powerful approach for probing ultrafast structural dynamics in nanoscale systems, combining (near-)atomic spatial r…
