Article Synopsis
- Ethylene carbonate (EC) is underutilized as a vibrational probe in nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy despite its practical uses and known Fermi resonance, suggesting potential for future research.
- The study explores the linear and 2DIR vibrational spectrum of EC in tetrahydrofuran, revealing coherent dynamic behaviors in its carbonyl stretching region.
- Using Redfield theory, the research highlights the significance of coherent contributions in the dynamics of cross-peaks in the 2DIR spectrum, indicating their importance for accurate measurements of early waiting time dynamics.
Injection seeding of solid-target soft x-ray laser amplifiers with high harmonic pulses is shown to dramatically improve the far-field laser beam profile and reduce the beam divergence. Measurements and two-dimensional simulations for a 13.9 nm nickel-like Ag amplifier show that the amplified beam divergence depends strongly on the seed and can therefore be controlled by selecting the divergence of the seed.
