Abstract

Time-resolved diffuse X-ray scattering with 50 fs, 9.5 keV X-ray pulses from the Linear Coherent Light Source was used to study the structural dynamics in materials undergoing rapid melting and ablation after fs laser excitation.

Highlights

  • Ultrafast pulsed excitation of solids allows to create states of strong electronic excitation and high temperature and pressure

  • Time-resolved diffuse X-ray scattering with 50 fs, 9.5 keV X-ray pulses from the Linear Coherent Light Source was used to study the structural dynamics in materials undergoing rapid melting and ablation after fs laser excitation

  • We report about experiments carried out at the Linear Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the world's first hard X-ray free electron laser, where we applied time-resolved diffuse X-ray scattering to study the structural response of materials undergoing rapid melting and ablation after excitation with intense fs laser pulses
