Optical pulses are routinely used to drive dynamic changes in the properties of solids. In
quantum materials, many new phenomena have been discovered, including ultrafast …

In this contribution, we highlight the state of the art in the determination of structures with
ultrafast electrons and X‐rays. We provide our perspectives and reflections on the principles …

Femtosecond x-ray and visible pulses were used to probe structural and electronic
dynamics during an optically driven, solid-solid phase transition in VO 2. For high interband …

This book represents the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, covering the
theoretical principles, present experimental status and important applications of short-pulse …

Active optical control over matter is desirable in many scientific disciplines, with prominent
examples in all-optical magnetic switching,, light-induced metastable or exotic phases of …

While books on the medical applications of x-ray imaging exist, there is not one currently
available that focuses on industrial applications. Full of color images that show clear …

We present the advances in x-ray femtosecond pulse generation and the most recent
discoveries in the field of ultrashort (femtosecond) x-ray science. Nowadays x-rays show …

A rf photocathode electron gun is used as an electron source for ultrafast time-resolved
pump-probe electron diffraction. The authors observed single-shot diffraction patterns from a …

The interaction of ultrafast laser pulses of relativistic intensity with high aspect ratio
nanostructures can efficiently and volumetrically heat matter to an ultra-high-energy-density …

Time-resolved x-ray diffraction with ultrashort (≈ 300 fs), multi-keV x-ray pulses has been
used to study the femtosecond laser-induced solid-to-liquid phase transition in a thin …
