Time-resolved x-ray scattering from laser-molten indium antimonide.
We demonstrate a concept to study transient liquids with picosecond time-resolved x-ray scattering in a high-repetition-rate configuration. Femtosecond laser excitation of crystalline indium antimonide (InSb) induces ultrafast melting, which leads to a loss of the long-range order. The remaining local correlations of the liquid result in broad x-ray diffraction rings, which are measured as a fu...
متن کاملSynchrotron-Based Time-Resolved X-ray Solution Scattering (Liquidography)
Visualizing molecular structures in the course of a reaction process is one of the major grand challenges in chemistry, biology and physics. In particular, most chemical and biologically relevant reactions occur in solution, and solution-phase reactions exhibit rich chemistry due to the solute-solvent interplay. Studying photo-induced reactions in the solution phase offers opportunities for und...
متن کاملTime-resolved X-ray scattering and RNA folding.
Time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) reports changes in the global conformation of macromolecules and is thus a valuable probe of structural transitions like RNA folding. Time-resolved SAXS has been applied to study folding of the Tetrahymena ribozyme. This chapter describes the methods that enable acquisition and analysis of time-resolved SAXS data and insights into RNA folding ga...
متن کاملX-ray induced dimerization of cinnamic acid: Time-resolved inelastic X-ray scattering study
A classic example of solid-state topochemical reactions is the ultraviolet-light induced photodimerization of α-trans-cinnamic acid (CA). Here, we report the first observation of an X-ray-induced dimerization of CA and monitor it in situ using nonresonant inelastic X-ray scattering spectroscopy (NRIXS). The time-evolution of the carbon core-electron excitation spectra shows the effects of two X...
متن کاملLaser plasma x-ray source for ultrafast time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy
We describe a laser-driven x-ray plasma source designed for ultrafast x-ray absorption spectroscopy. The source is comprised of a 1 kHz, 20 W, femtosecond pulsed infrared laser and a water target. We present the x-ray spectra as a function of laser energy and pulse duration. Additionally, we investigate the plasma temperature and photon flux as we vary the laser energy. We obtain a 75 μm FWHM x...
