Picosecond timescale Raman processes and spectroscopy
Time resolved properties of vibrational states of molecules on the picosecond scale are surveyed using both conventional spontaneous Raman effects as well as coherent Raman processes. In certain respects the coherent signal methods have been found to have distinct advantages related to their intrinsic time gating capability but they can have dis— advantages in the form of nonresonant background...
متن کاملUltrafast magnetization reversal by picosecond electrical pulses
The field of spintronics involves the study of both spin and charge transport in solid-state devices. Ultrafast magnetism involves the use of femtosecond laser pulses to manipulate magnetic order on subpicosecond time scales. We unite these phenomena by using picosecond charge current pulses to rapidly excite conduction electrons in magnetic metals. We observe deterministic, repeatable ultrafas...
متن کاملProbing the Hofmeister effect with ultrafast core-hole spectroscopy.
In the current work, X-ray emission spectra of aqueous solutions of different inorganic salts within the Hofmeister series are presented. The results reflect the direct interaction of the ions with the water molecules and therefore, reveal general properties of the salt-water interactions. Within the experimental precision a significant effect of the ions on the water structure has been observe...
متن کاملProbing the dynamics of plasmon-excited hexanethiol-capped gold nanoparticles by picosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
Picosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is used to investigate the electronic and structural dynamics initiated by plasmon excitation of 1.8 nm diameter Au nanoparticles (NPs) functionalised with 1-hexanethiol. We show that 100 ps after photoexcitation the transient XAS spectrum is consistent with an 8% expansion of the Au-Au bond length and a large increase in disorder associated with m...
متن کاملPicosecond optical probing of ultrafast energy transport in short pulse laser solid target interaction experiments
This paper reports observations of rapid energy transport effects resulting from high intensity laser heating of fused silica targets. Picosecond optical probing of these interactions provides information on the kinematics of supersonic ionization fronts driven into the targets. Studies have been conducted as a function of laser intensity, wavelength, and target angle. Additionally, targets wit...
