The structure of the adsorbed layer of alkali ions on the surface of colloidal silica solutions with a particle size of ~27 nm has been studied by reflectometry and diffuse scattering of synchrotron radiation with a photon energy of about…
Using a novel ultrahigh resolution ($\Delta E \sim 0.1\,$eV) setup to measure electronic features in x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) experiments at the European XFEL in Germany, we have studied the collective plasmon excitation in aluminium…
When an X-ray area detector based on a single crystalline material, for instance, a state of the art hybrid pixel detector, is illuminated from a point source by monochromatic radiation, a pattern of lines appears which overlays the…
X-ray diffraction from molecules in the ground state produces an image of their charge density, and time-resolved X-ray diffraction can thus monitor the motion of the nuclei. However, the density change of excited valence electrons upon…
Time-resolved mapping of lattice dynamics in real- and momentum-space is essential to understand better several ubiquitous phenomena such as heat transport, displacive phase transition, thermal conductivity, and many more. In this regard,…
As it is known from visible light experiments, silicon under femtosecond pulse irradiation can undergo the so-called 'nonthermal melting' if the density of electrons excited from the valence to the conduction band overcomes a certain…
A simple method for detection of melting event in laser-heated diamond anvil cells (DACs) is introduced. The melting is registered optically by the formation of spherical drops of the investigated material as heated in an inert pressure…
