Properties of liquid silicon observed by time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Time-resolved x-ray spectroscopy at the Si L edges is used to probe the electronic structure of an amorphous Si foil as it melts following absorption of an ultrafast laser pulse. Picosecond temporal resolution allows observation of the transient liquid phase before vaporization and before the liquid breaks up into droplets. The melting causes changes in the spectrum that match predictions of molecular dynamics and ab initio x-ray absorption codes.

Bonding in liquid carbon studied by time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy.
Even the most basic properties of liquid carbon have long been debated due to the challenge of studying the material at the required high temperature and pressure. Liquid carbon is volatile and thus inherently transient in an unconstrained environment. In this paper we use a new technique of picosecond time-resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy to study the bonding of liquid carbon at densitie...
متن کاملTime-Resolved X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy of Infrared-Laser Induced Temperature Jumps in Liquid Water
A time-resolved x-ray absorption study of the structural dynamics of liquid water on a picosecond time scale is presented. We apply femtosecond mid-infrared pulses to resonantly excite the intramolecular O-H stretching band of liquid water and monitor the transient response in the oxygen K-edge absorption spectrum with picosecond x-ray pulses. In this way, structural changes in the hydrogen bon...
متن کاملOptimization of Non-volatile Memory Cell and Energy Consumption in Robot Systems by Synthesized Silicon Nanoparticles via Electrical Discharge
In this paper, we propose to optimize manufacturing methods of memory cells by produced silicon nanoparticles via electrical spark discharge of silicon electrodes in water to reduce the energy consumption for low power applications. The pulsed spark discharge with the peak current of 60 A and a duration of a single discharge pulse of 60 µs was used in our experiment. The structure, morphology, ...

A novel sample holder is introduced which allows for temperature dependent soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy of liquids in transmission mode. The setup is based on sample cells with x-ray transmissive silicon nitride windows. A cooling circuit allows for temperature regulation of the sample liquid between -10 °C and +50 °C. The setup enables to record soft x-ray absorption spectra of liquids i...
متن کاملFemtosecond time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy of liquid using a hard X-ray free electron laser in a dual-beam dispersive detection method.
We present femtosecond time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy of aqueous solution using a hard x-ray free electron laser (SACLA) and a synchronized Ti:sapphire laser. The instrumental response time is 200 fs, and the repetition rate of measurement is 10 Hz. A cylindrical liquid beam 100 μm in diameter of aqueous ammonium iron(III) oxalate solution is photoexcited at 400 nm, and the transie...
