Even though electron-phonon coupling is one of the most important parameters governing
material evolution after ultrafast energy deposition it remains the most unexplored one. In …

Since two major criteria for melting were proposed by Lindemann and Born in the early
1900s, many simulations and observations have been carried out to elucidate the …

Phonon scattering in metals is one of the most fundamental processes in materials science.
However, understanding such processes has remained challenging and requires detailed …

Melting is a common and well-studied phenomenon that still reveals new facets when
triggered by laser excitation and probed with ultrafast electron diffraction. Recent …

There is growing interest in warm dense matter (WDM), an exotic state on the border
between condensed matter and plasmas. Due to the simultaneous importance of quantum …

Studies of laser-heated materials on femtosecond timescales have shown that the
interatomic potential can be perturbed at sufficiently high laser intensities. For gold, it has …

We report the design and performance of a time-resolved electron diffraction apparatus
