Dynamics of Nanoscale Phase Decomposition in Laser Ablation
Yanwen Sun, Chaobo Chen, Thies J. Albert +19
Femtosecond laser ablation is a process that bears both fundamental physics interest and has wide industrial applications. For decades, the lack of probes on the relevant time and…

Hard X-ray Generation and Detection of Nanometer-Scale Localized Coherent Acoustic Wave Packets in SrTiO and KTaO
Yijing Huang, Peihao Sun, Samuel W. Teitelbaum +21
We demonstrate that the absorption of femtosecond x-ray pulses can excite quasi-spherical high-wavevector coherent acoustic phonon wavepackets using an all x-ray pump and probe sca…

Structural pathways for ultrafast melting of optically excited thin polycrystalline Palladium films
Jerzy Antonowicz, Adam Olczak, Klaus Sokolowski-Tinten +28
Due to its extremely short timescale, the non-equilibrium melting of metals is exceptionally difficult to probe experimentally. The knowledge of melting mechanisms is thus based ma…
