Abstract
An 84.5 eV Ni-like Pd ion 4d - 4p x-ray laser source generated by the LLNL Compact Multipulse Terawatt (COMET) tabletop system has been used to probe the electronic structure of various metals and semiconductors. In addition to the {approx}4 - 5 ps time resolution, the probe provides the necessary high photon flux (>10{sup 12}/pulse), narrow line width ({Delta}E/E{approx}2 x 10{sup -5}) and coherence for studying valence band and shallow core electronic structure levels in a single shot. We show some preliminary results of room temperature and heated thin foil samples consisting of 50 nm Cu coated on a 20 nm C substrate. A 527 nm wavelength 400 fs laser pulse containing 0.1 - 2.5 mJ laser energy is focused in a large 500 x 700 {micro}m{sup 2} (FWHM) spot to create heated conditions of 0.07 - 1.8 x 1012 W cm{sup -2} intensity.
