Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

Laser excitation of nanometer-sized atomic and molecular clusters offers various
opportunities to explore and control ultrafast many-particle dynamics. Whereas weak laser …

The plasma dynamics of single mesoscopic Xe particles irradiated with intense femtosecond
x-ray pulses exceeding 10 16 W/cm 2 from the Linac Coherent Light Source free-electron …

The field of nanoscience was pioneered in the 1980s with the groundbreaking research on
clusters, which later led to the discovery of fullerenes. Handbook of Nanophysics: Clusters …

We report evidence for two previously unidentified effects in the ionization of rare-gas
clusters by intense extreme-ultraviolet pulses. First, electron spectra indicate multistep …

We study the dynamics of avalanche ionization of pure helium nanodroplets activated by a
weak extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) pulse and driven by an intense near-infrared (NIR) pulse. In …

We investigate the wavelength-dependent ionization, heating, and expansion dynamics of
medium-sized rare-gas clusters (Ar 923) under intense femtosecond short-wavelength free …

High order harmonic generation from clusters is a controversial topic: conflicting theories
exist, with different explanations for similar experimental observations. From an …

FLASH, the free electron laser at DESY in Hamburg, is the first facility of its kind providing
intense, femtosecond radiation pulses in the vacuum ultraviolet and soft X-ray range for user …

We investigate electron-ion recombination in nanoplasmas produced by the ionization of
rare-gas clusters with intense femtosecond extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) pulses. The relaxation …
