Femtosecond X-ray diffraction study of large amplitude coherent optical phonons in laser- excited Bismuth
OSA Trends in Optics and Photonics Series 88 (2003) 391-392
Abstract:
Femtosecond time-resolved X-ray diffraction was used to directly study optical phonons in laser-excited Bismuth. A periodic modulation of the diffraction efficiency reveals initially coherent lattice distortions with atomic displacements of nearly 10% of the nearest-neighbor-distance. © 2002 Optical Society of America.Ultrafast X-ray Diffraction and Absorption: New Light on Phase Transition Dynamics

Femtosecond X-ray diffraction measurement of a solid-solid phase transition in VO2
SPRINGER SERIES CHEM 71 (2003) 33-35
Abstract:
Femtosecond x-rays were for the first time used to probe a photoinduced solid-solid phase transition in VO2. The fast timescale observed suggests that, in this regime, the structural distortion may not be thermally initiated.Time-resolved X-ray diffraction study of ultrafast structural dynamics in laser-excited solids
