In this work, we coupled synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization (SVUV PI) method with the laser-induced acoustic desorption (LIAD) technique for mass spectrometric analysis. The LIAD technique is a "soft" desorption method, which could avoid the degradation of analytes during desorption process. Meanwhile, SVUV PI is an efficient "soft" ionization source. The new combination of the "soft" desorption technique and "soft" photoionization method is well suitable to reduce the difficulty for interpreting the mass spectra of the fragile compounds and heavy oils.

The interaction of high-frequency surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and excitons in van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) offers challenging opportunities to explore novel quantum effects and functionalities. We probe the interaction of neutral excitons, trions, and biexcitons with SAWs in a hBN/WSe/hBN vdWH. We show that neutral excitons respond weakly to the SAW stimulus at 5 K.

Light-matter interaction at the nanoscale in magnetic alloys and heterostructures is a topic of intense research in view of potential applications in high-density magnetic recording. While the element-specific dynamics of electron spins is directly accessible to resonant x-ray pulses with femtosecond time structure, the possible element-specific atomic motion remains largely unexplored. We use ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) to probe the temporal evolution of lattice Bragg peaks of FePt nanoparticles embedded in a carbon matrix following excitation by an optical femtosecond laser pulse.

Perfluorocarbon (PFC) droplets represent a novel class of phase-shift contrast agent with promise in applications in biomedical and bioengineering fields. PFC droplets undergo a fast liquid-gas transition upon exposure to acoustic or optical triggering, offering a potential adaptable and versatile tool as contrast agent in diagnostic imaging and localized drug delivery vehicles in therapeutics systems. In this paper, we utilize advanced imaging techniques to investigate ultra-high-speed inertial dynamics and rectified quasi-static (low-speed) diffusion evolution of optically induced PFC droplet vaporization within three different hydrogels, each of different concentrations, examining effects such as droplet size and PFC core on bubble dynamics and material viscoelastic properties.

Article Synopsis
- * A dual acoustic-optic laser strategy is introduced, combining laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and laser-induced plasma acoustics (LIPAc) to create detailed surface images and analyze the mineral composition and physical attributes of rocks embedded in resin.
- * The combined optical and acoustic data enable better differentiation of mineral phases and provide insights into geological history and polymorphic transformations, demonstrated through the investigation of a septarian nodule with diverse mineral origins.
The process of laser-induced breakdown of amorphous and crystalline selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) of various shapes during nanosecond laser fragmentation of aqueous colloidal solutions of nanoparticles with different concentrations has been studied. The methods of studying the characteristics of plasma and acoustic oscillations induced by optical breakdown are applied. The methods of assessing the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals, the amount of long-lived reactive species of protein and 8-oxoguanine are applied.
