Unveiling the nanomorphology of HfN thin films by ultrafast reciprocal space mapping
Steffen Peer Zeuschner, Jan-Etienne Pudell, Maximilian Mattern +5
Hafnium Nitride (HfN) is a promising and very robust alternative to gold for applications of nanoscale metals. Details of the nanomorphology related to variations in strain states…

Non-thermal electrons open the non-equilibrium pathway of the phase transition in FeRh
Maximilian Mattern, Steffen Peer Zeuschner, Matthias Rössle +3
We use ultrafast x-ray diffraction to study non-equilibrium pathways of the phase transition in FeRh parametrized by the structural response. By increasing the pump-pulse duration…

Accelerating the laser-induced phase transition in nanostructured FeRh via plasmonic absorption
Maximilian Mattern, Jan-Etienne Pudell, Jon Ander Arregi +5
By ultrafast x-ray diffraction we show that the laser-induced magnetostructural phase transition in FeRh nanoislands proceeds faster and more complete than in continuous films. We…
