Intense ultrashort light pulses comprising merely a few wave cycles became routinely
available by the turn of the millennium. The technologies underlying their production and …

One of the great dream experiments in Science is to directly observe atomic motions as they
occur. Femtosecond electron diffraction provided the first'light'of sufficient intensity to …

Right after the first edition was published in 2007, I was invited to give seminars at a number
of universities in several countries. At that time, many people considered nanotechnology …

The Child–Langmuir Law (CL), discovered a century ago, gives the maximum current that
can be transported across a planar diode in the steady state. As a quintessential example of …

We report a source of free electron pulses based on a field emission tip irradiated by a low-
power femtosecond laser. The electron pulses are shorter than 70 fs and originate from a tip …

We report direct measurement of hot-electron temperatures and relaxation dynamics for
peak electron temperatures between 3400 and 11 000 K utilizing two-pulse-correlation …

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 …

The interaction of subpicosecond laser pulses with metals is studied theoretically using
phenomenological two-temperature model. Wide-range approximations for electron thermal …

In this paper, we establish connections between the thresholds and mechanisms of the
damage and white-light generation upon femtosecond laser irradiation of wide-bandgap …

Laser ablation in liquids is a highly interdisciplinary method at the intersection of physics
and chemistry that offers the unique opportunity to generate surfactant-free and stable …
