Material functionality can be strongly determined by structure extending only over nanoscale
distances. The pair distribution function presents an opportunity for structural studies beyond …

Understanding non-equilibrium melting in metals is a topic of current interest. We
investigated the solid-to-liquid phase transition in platinum induced by femtosecond infrared …

Femtosecond laser ablation is a process that bears both fundamental physics interest and
has wide industrial applications. For decades, the lack of probes on the relevant time and …
