The development of femtosecond lasers brought entirely new possibilities into the practice of
timeresolved spectroscopy, for both UV-vis and IR-Raman spectroscopies. In addition, it has …

In this contribution, we highlight the state of the art in the determination of structures with
ultrafast electrons and X‐rays. We provide our perspectives and reflections on the principles …

Excitation of high-T c cuprates and certain organic superconductors with intense far-infrared
optical pulses has been shown to create non-equilibrium states with optical properties that …

While books on the medical applications of x-ray imaging exist, there is not one currently
available that focuses on industrial applications. Full of color images that show clear …

Swift heavy ions cause material modification along their tracks, changes primarily due to
their very dense electronic excitation. The available data for threshold stopping powers …

Fast electronic transport is investigated theoretically based on a drift-diffusion approach for
different classes of materials (metals, semiconductors, and dielectrics) under ultrafast …

Active heat flow control is essential for broad applications of heating, cooling, and energy
conversion. Like electronic devices developed for the control of electric power, it is very …

We present a continuum model, based on a drift-diffusion approach, aimed at describing the
dynamics of electronic excitation, heating, and charge-carrier transport in different materials …

The excitation of a high density of carriers in semiconductors can induce an order-to-
disorder phase transition due to changes in the potential-energy landscape of the lattice. We …

Mechanisms of ultrafast (femtosecond) laser-induced ablation on crystalline silicon are
investigated by time-resolved pump-and-probe microscopy in normal imaging and …
