Improving our understanding of electron dynamics is essential for advancing energy transfer, optoelectronics, light harvesting systems and quantum computing. Recent developments in attosecond x-ray sources provide the fundamental…
We describe a new method for imaging ultrafast dynamics in condensed matter using inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS). We use the concepts of causality and irreversibility to construct a general solution to the inverse scattering problem (or…
We describe how improvements in methodology and instrumentation for meV-resolved inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS), coupled with a fresh examination of older theory, allow identification of interaction between the quasi-elastic and acoustic…
Second-harmonic scattering experiments of water and other bulk molecular liquids have long been assumed to be insensitive to interactions between the molecules. The measured intensity is generally thought to arise from incoherent scattering…
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,…
We propose a method for realizing true, real-space imaging of charge dynamics in a periodic system, with angstrom spatial resolution and attosecond time resolution. In this method, inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) is carried out with a…
Electron dynamics in water are of fundamental importance for a broad range of phenomena, but their real-time study faces numerous conceptual and methodological challenges. Here, we introduce attosecond size-resolved cluster spectroscopy and…
Future ultrafast x-ray light sources might image ultrafast coherent electron motion in real-space and in real-time. For a rigorous understanding of such an imaging experiment, we extend the theory of non-resonant x-ray scattering to the…
Time-resolved scattering experiments enable imaging of materials at the molecular scale with femtosecond time resolution. However, in disordered media they provide access to just one radial dimension thus limiting the study of orientational…
The detection of inelastically scattered soft X-rays with high energy resolution usually requires large grating spectrometers. Recently, photoelectron spectrometry for analysis of X-rays (PAX) has been rediscovered for modern spectroscopy…
Interpretation of the X-ray spectra of water as evidence for its asymmetric structure has challenged the conventional symmetric nearly-tetrahedral model and initiated an intense debate about the order and symmetry of the hydrogen bond…
We propose a novel way to image dynamical properties of nonstationary electron systems using ultrafast resonant x-ray scattering. Employing a rigorous theoretical analysis within the framework of quantum electrodynamics, we demonstrate that…
High-resolution, inelastic x-ray scattering measurements of the dynamic structure factor S(Q,\omega) of liquid water have been performed for wave vectors Q between 4 and 30 nm^-1 in distinctly different thermodynamic conditions (T= 263 -…
Sub-angstrom spatial resolution of electron density coupled with sub-femtosecond temporal resolution is required to directly observe the dynamics of the electronic structure of a molecule after photoinitiation or some other ultrafast…
Inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) now a widely used technique for studying the dynamics of electrons in condensed matter. We previously posed a solution to the phase problem for IXS [P. Abbamonte, et. al., Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 92}, 237401…
Time-resolved ultrafast x-ray scattering is an emerging approach to probe the temporally evolving electronic charge distribution in real-space and in real-time. In this contribution, time-resolved ultrafast x-ray scattering from an…
We report on the first streaking measurement of water-window attosecond pulses generated via high harmonic generation, driven by sub-2-cycle, CEP-stable, 1850 nm laser pulses. Both the central photon energy and the energy bandwidth far…
Ultra-intense lasers that ionize and accelerate electrons in solids to near the speed of light can lead to kinetic instabilities that alter the laser absorption and subsequent electron transport, isochoric heating, and ion acceleration.…
The current flux density is a vector field that can be used to describe theoretically how electrons flow in a system out-of-equilibrium. In this work, we unequivocally demonstrate that the signal obtained from time-resolved X-ray scattering…
We measure the resonant forward scattering of light by a highly saturated atomic medium through the flashes emitted immediately after an abrupt extinction of the probe beam. The experiment is done in a dilute regime where the phenomena are…
