The absence of efficient light modulators for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and X-ray photons
considerably limits their real-life application, particularly when even slight complexity of the …

Driving four-wave mixing (FWM) processes with extreme ultraviolet (EUV) pulses could
enable experimental approaches that have the potential to provide unique information on …

Light manipulation at the nanoscale is essential both for fundamental science and modern
technology. The quest to shorter lengthscales, however, requires the use of light …

Nanophononic materials are characterized by a periodic nanostructuration, which may lead
to coherent scattering of phonons, enabling interference and resulting in modified phonon …

We demonstrate that the absorption of femtosecond hard x-ray pulses excites
quasispherical, high-amplitude, and high-wave-vector coherent acoustic phonon wave …

The relentless pursuit of understanding matter at ever-finer scales has pushed optical
microscopy to surpass the diffraction limit and realize super-resolution microscopy, which …

The capability to use extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light for generating transient gratings (TGs)
has enabled the study of thermoelastic and magnetic dynamics at the nanoscale, in thin …

Understanding contact mechanics and adhesion processes in thin films and micro-
structured materials is fundamental in phonon and heat transport phenomena and is …
