But for deeper modification of different materials a laser in the hard x-ray range is required. Here, we demonstrate that a single 9-keV x-ray pulse from a free-electron laser can form a um-diameter cylindrical cavity with length of ~1 mm in LiF surrounded by shock-transformed material. The plasma-generated shock wave with TPa-level pressure results in damage, melting and polymorphic transformations of any material, including transparent and non-transparent to conventional optical lasers. Moreover, cylindrical shocks can be utilized to obtain a considerable amount of exotic high-pressure polymorphs. Pressure wave propagation in LiF, radial material flow, formation of cracks and voids are analyzed via continuum and atomistic simulations revealing a sequence of processes leading to the final structure with the long cavity. Similar results can be produced with semiconductors and ceramics, which opens a new pathway for development of laser material processing with hard x-ray pulses. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2409.03625v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2409.03625v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 5 September, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.02899">arXiv:2102.02899</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.02899">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2102.02899">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics">physics.ao-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computational Physics">physics.comp-ph</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Fluid Dynamics">physics.flu-dyn</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Optical funnel to guide and focus virus particles for X-ray laser imaging </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Awel%2C+S">Salah Awel</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Lavin-Varela%2C+S">Sebastian Lavin-Varela</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Roth%2C+N">Nils Roth</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Horke%2C+D+A">Daniel A.

Photophoretic forces, whereby momentum exchange between a particle and surrounding gas is induced with optical light, were recently shown to be a robust means of trapping and manipulating nanoparticles in air. We previously proposed a photophoretic &#34;optical funnel&#34; concept for the delivery of bioparticles to the focus of an x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) beam for femtosecond x-ray diffractive imaging. Here, we describe the formation of a high-aspect-ratio optical funnel and provide a first experimental demonstration of this concept by transversely compressing and concentrating a high-speed beam of aerosolized viruses by a factor of three in a low-pressure environment. These results pave the way toward improved sample delivery efficiency for XFEL imaging experiments as well as other forms of imaging and spectroscopy. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2102.02899v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2102.02899v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 8 February, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 4 February, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2021. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14654">arXiv:2005.14654</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.14654">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2005.14654">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Physics - Experiment">hep-ex</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> All femtosecond optical pump and X-ray probe: holey-axicon for free electron laser </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Anand%2C+V">V.

A Bessel beam generator with a central 100 micrometers-diameter hole (on the optical axis) was fabricated using femtosecond (fs) laser structuring inside a silica plate. This flat-axicon optical element produces a needle-like axial intensity distribution which can be used for the optical pump pulse. The fs-X-ray free electron laser (X-FEL) beam of sub-1 micrometer diameter can be introduced through the central hole along the optical axis onto a target as a probe. Different realisations of optical pump are discussed. Such optical elements facilitate alignment of ultra-short fs-pulses in space and time and can be used in light-matter interaction experiments at extreme energy densities on the surface and in the volume of targets. Full advantage of ultra-short 10 fs X-FEL probe pulses with fs-pump(optical) opens an unexplored temporal dimension of phase transitions and the fastest laser-induced rates of material heating and quenching. A wider field of applications of fs-laser-enabled structuring of materials and design of specific optical elements for astrophotonics is presented. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2005.14654v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2005.14654v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 24 May, 2020; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2020. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.10796">arXiv:1912.10796</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1912.10796">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Detectors">physics.ins-det</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Biological Physics">physics.bio-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s42005-020-0362-y">10.1038/s42005-020-0362-y <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Megahertz single-particle imaging at the European XFEL </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Sobolev%2C+E">Egor Sobolev</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Zolotarev%2C+S">Serguey Zolotarev</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Giewekemeyer%2C+K">Klaus Giewekemeyer</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Bielecki%2C+J">Johan Bielecki</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Okamoto%2C+K">Kenta Okamoto</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Reddy%2C+H+K+N">Hemanth K.

The European XFEL will soon provide 27,000 pulses per second, more than two orders of magnitude more than any other XFEL. The increased pulse rate is a key enabling factor for single-particle X-ray diffractive imaging, which relies on averaging the weak diffraction signal from single biological particles. Taking full advantage of this new capability requires that all experimental steps, from sample preparation and delivery to the acquisition of diffraction patterns, are compatible with the increased pulse repetition rate. Here, we show that single-particle imaging can be performed using X-ray pulses at megahertz repetition rates. The obtained results pave the way towards exploiting high repetition-rate X-ray free-electron lasers for single-particle imaging at their full repetition rate. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1912.10796v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1912.10796v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 14 December, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2019. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Commun.

Such energy concentration with extremely high heating and quenching rates leads to unusual solid-plasma-solid transformation paths overcoming kinetic barriers to formation of previously unknown high-pressure material phases, which are preserved in the surrounding pristine crystal. These results were obtained with the pulse of Gaussian shape in space and in time. Recently it was shown that the Bessel-shaped pulse could transform much larger amount of a material and allegedly create even higher energy density than that was achieved with the Gaussian (GB) pulses. Here we present a succinct review of previous results and discuss the possible routes for achieving higher energy density employing the Bessel beams (BB) and take advantage of its unique properties. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1802.10345v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1802.10345v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 1 March, 2018; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 28 February, 2018; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2018. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">6 pages</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.08163">arXiv:1708.08163</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.08163">pdf</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Interaction of the ultra-short Bessel beam with transparent dielectrics: Evidence of high-energy concentration and multi-TPa pressure </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Gamaly%2C+E+G">Eugene G.

Recently it was demonstrated that the Bessel beam (BB) focused inside sapphire produced the cylindrical void being two orders of magnitude larger than that generated by the GB [6-8]. Analysis of the experimental data presented below allows making the remarkable conclusions based solely on the void size measurements without any ad hoc assumptions about the interaction process. First, the void size is direct evidence of strong (&gt;40%) absorption of the pulse energy. Second, it is a direct experimental evidence of the high-energy concentration in the central spike of the focus. The unique features of the intense Bessel beam interaction then allow understanding the experimental observation. This interaction generates early in the pulse time the spatial distribution of excited permittivity changing from positive to negative values. Then the light interacts with zero-real-permittivity surface, separating plasma and dielectric areas, which leads to high energy concentration near the axis of cylindrical focus up to several MJ/cm3 (pressure range of 4-8 TPa). The effect depends on the angle between the permittivity gradient and the field polarisation. High pressure generates intense cylindrical shock/ rarefaction waves, which led to formation of void and compressed shell. We demonstrate that the Bessel beam proves to be an effective tool for producing extreme pressure/temperature conditions on the laboratory tabletop. It appears that adjusting polarisation and permittivity gradient might be a novel way for increasing the maximum pressure. This tool allows for search of novel high-pressure material phases, for the 3D laser machining and for creating Warm Dense Matter as those in star cores. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1708.08163v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1708.08163v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 9 October, 2017; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 27 August, 2017; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> August 2017. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Draft-01, 18 pages, 4 figures, presented at International Conference on Laser Ablation COLA-2017 in Marseille, 4-8 September 2017.

These unconventional transient material states combine simultaneously dielectric and metal properties (Die-Met). The laser excitation transforms a transparent dielectric into electrically inhomogeneous state early in the pulse time [1]. The permittivity of excited material varies in time and in space changing from positive to negative values that strongly affects the interaction process. The interplay between the transient permittivity gradient and polarisation of the incident laser becomes the major process of the new interaction mode. In a particular relation between the polarization and the permittivity gradient the incident field amplitude grows up while the wave is approaching to the surface where the real part of permittivity turns to zero. That results in the local increase in the absorbed energy density. The complex 3D structure of the permittivity makes a transparent part of excited dielectric (at $蔚0 &gt; 蔚re &gt; 0$) optically active. The electro-magnetic wave passing through such a medium gets a twisted trajectory and accrues the geometric phase [2]. The plane of polarisation rotation and phase depends on the 3D permittivity structure [3]. Measuring the polarisation and phase of the probe beam allows quantitatively identify this new transient state. We discuss the revelations of this effect in different experimental situations and possible applications. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1708.07630v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1708.07630v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 27 August, 2017; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 25 August, 2017; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> August 2017. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Draft-02; 11 pages, 6 figures; to be presented at International Conference on Laser Ablation, Marseille, 4-8 September 2017</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.04014">arXiv:1702.04014</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.04014">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1702.04014">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Biological Physics">physics.bio-ph</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1107/S1600576717018131">10.1107/S1600576717018131 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Femtosecond x-ray diffraction from an aerosolized beam of protein nanocrystals </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Awel%2C+S">Salah Awel</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Kirian%2C+R+A">Richard A.

The high speed of the particles is particularly well suited to upcoming MHz-repetition-rate x-ray free-electron lasers. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1702.04014v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1702.04014v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 13 January, 2018; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 13 February, 2017; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> February 2017. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.06231">arXiv:1512.06231</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1512.06231">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1512.06231">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.24.006507">10.1364/OE.24.006507 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Visualizing aerosol-particle injection for diffractive-imaging experiments </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Awel%2C+S">Salah Awel</a>, <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Kirian%2C+R+A">Richard A.

Enabling direct visualization of sub-micrometer aerosol particle streams without interfering with the operation of the particle injector can greatly improve the overall efficiency of single-particle imaging experiments by reducing the amount of time and sample consumed during measurements. We have developed in-situ non-destructive imaging diagnostics to aid real-time particle injector optimization and x-ray/particle-beam alignment, based on laser illumination schemes and fast imaging detectors. Our diagnostics are constructed to provide a non-invasive rapid feedback on injector performance during measurements, and have been demonstrated during diffraction measurements at the FLASH free-electron laser. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1512.06231v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1512.06231v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 19 December, 2015; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> December 2015. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">15 pages</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Optics express 24.6 (2016): 6507-6521 </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1510.01887">arXiv:1510.01887</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1510.01887">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1510.01887">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1510.01887">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics">cond-mat.mes-hall</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Materials Science">cond-mat.mtrl-sci</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Optics">physics.optics</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.40.005711">10.1364/OL.40.005711 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Photoluminescence from voids created by femtosecond laser pulses inside cubic-BN </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/physics?searchtype=author&amp;query=Buividas%2C+R">R.

The real and imaginary parts of the transient dielectric function were calculated from absolute reflectivity of Gallium layer measured at two different angles of incidence, using Fresnel formulas. The time-dependent electron-phonon effective collision frequency, the heat conduction coefficient and the volume fraction of a new phase were restored directly from the experimental data, and the time and space dependent electron and lattice temperatures in the layer undergoing phase transition were reconstructed without ad hoc assumptions. We converted the temporal dependence of the electron-phonon collision rate into the temperature dependence, and demonstrated, for the first time, that the electron-phonon collision rate has a non-linear character. This temperature dependence converges into the known equilibrium function during the cooling stage. The maximum fraction of a new phase in the laser-excited Gallium layer reached only 60% even when the deposited energy was two times the equilibrium enthalpy of melting. We have also demonstrated that the phase transition pace and a fraction of the transformed material depended strongly on the thickness of the laser-excited Gallium layer, which was of the order of several tens of nanometers for the whole range of the pump laser fluencies up to the damage threshold. The kinetics of the phase transformation after the laser excitation can be understood on the basis of the classical theory of the first-order phase transition while the duration of non-thermal stage appears to be comparable to the sub-picosecond pulse length. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('physics/0311010v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('physics/0311010v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 3 November, 2003; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2003. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">28 pages, including 9 figs.

It is shown that at high intensities when the ionization of the target material is complete before the end of the pulse, the ablation mechanism is the same for both metals and dielectrics. The physics of this new ablation regime involves ion acceleration in the electrostatic field caused by charge separation created by energetic electrons escaping from the target. The formulae for ablation thresholds and ablation rates for metals and dielectrics, combining the laser and target parameters, are derived and compared to experimental data. The calculated dependence of the ablation thresholds on the pulse duration is in agreement with the experimental data in a femtosecond range, and it is linked to the dependence for nanosecond pulses.
