udkm1Dsim - A simulation toolkit for 1D ultrafast dynamics in condensed matter

The udkm1Dsim toolbox is a collection of matlab (MathWorks Inc.) classes and routines to simulate the structural dynamics and the according X-ray diffraction response in one-dimensional crystalline sample structures upon an arbitrary time-dependent external stimulus, e.g. an ultrashort laser pulse. The toolbox provides the capabilities to define arbitrary layered structures on the atomic level ...

Ultrafast X - ray Studies of Structural Dynamics

C20 of molecular structures for C70Br10 or C60Cl24, which have been later confirmed by X-ray crystallography (partially with the use of synchrotron radiation). For the mixture of two compounds with known X-ray structures, C60Cl28 and C60Cl30, the experimental IR spectra were interpreted by comparison with the calculated ones using subtle differences for compounds possessing very similar structu...

Condensed matter

Foreword Physics and physicists play a vital role in underpinning our way of life, improving its quality and contributing in a major way to wealth creation. Innovations as powerful and diverse as the World Wide Web and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have emerged from studies in basic physics, becoming everyday technologies in just two decades. It is, therefore, a worthwhile challenge to specu...
