In most theoretical descriptions of collective strong coupling of organic molecules to a cavity
mode, the molecules are modeled as simple two-level systems. This picture fails to describe …

MXenes have the potential for efficient light-to-heat conversion in photothermal applications.
To effectively utilize MXenes in such applications, it is important to understand the …

We review current progress with respect to ultrafast, atomic-scale resolution X-ray scattering
studies of materials. In the last decade, advances in sources and techniques have opened …

In this Perspective, we provide an overview of the field of ultrafast electron microscopy
(UEM). We begin by briefly discussing the emergence of methods for probing ultrafast …

Modulation of weak interlayer interactions between quasi-two-dimensional atomic planes in
the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) provides avenues for tuning their functional …

X-ray spectroscopies, when combined in laser-pump, X-ray-probe measurement schemes,
can be powerful tools for tracking the electronic and geometric structural changes that occur …

Understanding the fundamentals of nanoscale heat propagation is crucial for next‐
generation electronics. For instance, weak van der Waals bonds of layered materials are …

The compact linear collider (CLIC) is a leading candidate for the next generation high
energy linear collider. As any breakdown would result in a partial or full loss of luminosity for …

We measure molecular vibrations with femtometer precision via resonance energy shifts
using time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy. For a demonstration, a Raman process …

An experimental technique that allows faster assessment of out-of-plane strain dynamics of
thin film heterostructures via x-ray diffraction is presented. In contrast to conventional high …
