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…
