Observation of structural anisotropy and the onset of liquidlike motion during the nonthermal melting of InSb
Physical Review Letters 95:12 (2005)
Abstract:
The melting dynamics of laser excited InSb have been studied with femtosecond x-ray diffraction. These measurements observe the delayed onset of diffusive atomic motion, signaling the appearance of liquidlike dynamics. They also demonstrate that the root-mean-squared displacement in the [111] direction increases faster than in the [110] direction after the first 500 fs. This structural anisotropy indicates that the initially generated fluid differs significantly from the equilibrium liquid. © 2005 The American Physical Society.Direct observation of the alpha-epsilon transition in shock-compressed iron via nanosecond x-ray diffraction
