    Probing the interplay between lattice dynamics and short-range magnetic correlations in CuGeO3 with femtosecond RIXS

    Investigations of magnetically ordered phases on the femtosecond timescale have provided significant insights into the influence of charge and lattice degrees of freedom on the magnetic sub-system. However, sh...

    Time-resolved RIXS experiment with pulse-by-pulse parallel readout data collection using X-ray free electron laser

    Time-resolved resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) is one of the develo** techniques enabled by the advent of X-ray free electron laser (FEL). It is important to evaluate how the FEL jitter, which is i...

    Spin-current-mediated rapid magnon localisation and coalescence after ultrafast optical pum** of ferrimagnetic alloys

    Sub-picosecond magnetisation manipulation via femtosecond optical pum** has attracted wide attention ever since its original discovery in 1996. However, the spatial evolution of the magnetisation is not yet ...

    Probing ultrafast ππ*/nπ* internal conversion in organic chromophores via K-edge resonant absorption

    Many photoinduced processes including photosynthesis and human vision happen in organic molecules and involve coupled femtosecond dynamics of nuclei and electrons. Organic molecules with heteroatoms often poss...

    Photo-enhanced antinodal conductivity in the pseudogap state of high-Tc cuprates

    A major challenge in understanding the cuprate superconductors is to clarify the nature of the fundamental electronic correlations that lead to the pseudogap phenomenon. Here we use ultrashort light pulses to ...

    Ultrafast charge localization in a stripe-phase nickelate

    Self-organized electronically ordered phases are a recurring feature in correlated materials, resulting in, for example, fluctuating charge stripes whose role in high-TC superconductivity is under debate. However...

    Phase fluctuations and the absence of topological defects in a photo-excited charge-ordered nickelate

    The dynamics of an order parameter's amplitude and phase determines the collective behaviour of novel states emerging in complex materials. Time- and momentum-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy, by virtue of mea...
