The chemRIXS Instrument for the LCLS-II X-Ray Free Electron Laser

David J. Hoffman, Douglas Garratt, Matthew Bain +28

The chemRIXS instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source offers new opportunities for studying solution-phase systems with time-resolved soft X-ray spectroscopy through the recen…

Nonlinear reversal of photo-excitation on the attosecond time scale improves ultrafast x-ray diffraction images

Anatoli Ulmer, Phay J. Ho, Bruno Langbehn +28

The advent of isolated and intense sub-femtosecond X-ray pulses enables tracking of quantummechanical motion of electrons in molecules and solids. The combination of X-ray spectros…

Imaging valence electron rearrangement in a chemical reaction using hard X-ray scattering

Ian Gabalski, Alice Green, Philipp Lenzen +24

We have observed the signatures of valence electron rearrangement in photoexcited ammonia using ultrafast hard X-ray scattering. Time-resolved X-ray scattering is a powerful tool f…

Attosecond X-ray Core-level Chronoscopy of Aromatic Molecules

Jia-Bao Ji, Zhaoheng Guo, Taran Driver +32

Attosecond photoemission or photoionization delays are a unique probe of the structure and the electronic dynamics of matter. However, spectral congestion and spatial delocalizatio…

Spectrotemporal shaping of attosecond x-ray pulses with a fresh-slice free-electron laser

River R. Robles, Kirk A. Larsen, David Cesar +14

We propose a scheme allowing coherent shaping, i.e., controlling both the amplitude and phase, of attosecond x-ray pulses at free-electron lasers. We show that by seeding an FEL wi…

Attosecond Coherent Electron Motion in a Photoionized Aromatic Molecule

Taran Driver, Zhaoheng Guo, Erik Isele +50

In molecular systems, the ultrafast motion of electrons initiates the process of chemical change. Tracking this electronic motion across molecules requires coupling attosecond time…
