Time-domain extreme ultraviolet diffuse scattering spectroscopy of nanoscale surface phonons

F. Capotondi, A. Maznev, F. Bencivenga +18

We report the observation of dynamic fringe patterns in the diffuse scattering of extreme ultraviolet light from surfaces, following femtosecond optical excitation. At each point o…

Spin waves excited by hard x-ray transient gratings

Peter R. Miedaner, Alexei A. Maznev, Mykola Biednov +49

Recent progress in ultrafast x-ray sources helped establish x-rays as an important tool for probing lattice and magnetic dynamics initiated by femtosecond optical pulses. Here, we…

Transient laser-induced periodic surface structures revealed by time-resolved EUV diffuse scattering

D. Ksenzov, F. Capotondi, A. A. Maznev +12

The formation of permanent laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on solid surfaces under impulsive laser irradiation above the damage threshold has been subject of exte…

Resonant Self-Diffraction of Femtosecond Extreme Ultraviolet Pulses in Cobalt

Alexei A. Maznev, Wonseok Lee, Scott K. Cushing +14

Self-diffraction is a non-collinear four-wave mixing technique well-known in optics. We explore self-diffraction in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range, taking advantage of intense…
