AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The X-ray Pump-Probe instrument achieves femtosecond time-resolution with hard X-ray methods using a free-electron laser source. It covers a photon energy range of 4-24 keV. A femtosecond optical laser system is available across a broad spectrum of wavelengths for generating transient states of matter. The instrument is designed to emphasize versatility and the scientific goals encompass ultrafast physical, chemical and biological processes involved in the transformation of matter and transfer of energy at the atomic scale.

Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) is an ideal X-ray spectroscopy method to push the combination of energy and time resolutions to the Fourier transform ultimate limit, because it is unaffected by the core-hole lifetime energy broadening. Also, in pump-probe experiments the interaction time is made very short by the same core-hole lifetime. RIXS is very photon hungry so it takes great advantage from high-repetition-rate pulsed X-ray sources like the European XFEL.

Dynamic structural biology enables studying biological events at the atomic scale from 10's of femtoseconds to a few seconds duration. With the advent of X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs) and 4th generation synchrotrons, serial crystallography is becoming a major player for time-resolved experiments in structural biology. Despite significant progress, challenges such as obtaining sufficient amounts of protein to produce homogeneous microcrystal slurry, remain.

We performed a pump-probe experiment on the chiral magnet Cu_{2}OSeO_{3} to study the relaxation dynamics of its noncollinear magnetic orders, employing a millisecond magnetic field pulse as the pump and resonant elastic x-ray scattering as the probe. Our findings reveal that the system requires ∼0.2 s to stabilize after the perturbation applied to both the conical and skyrmion lattice phase, which is significantly slower than the typical nanosecond timescale observed in micromagnetics.

A monochromatic red emitting nonacoordinate organoeuropium complex with the formula [Eu(hfaa)(Ph-TerPyr)] (Eu-1) incorporating hexafluoroacetylacetone (hfaa) primary ligands and a tridentate 4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (Ph-TerPyr) ancillary ligand has been synthesized. The complex was characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods, and its structure was established by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) analysis at low temperature, which explicitly confirms that the coordination sphere is composed of a EuON core. Under the UV excitation, Eu-1 displayed typical red emission in solution with a long-excited state lifetime ( = 1048.

We present a table-top setup for x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) based on high harmonic generation (HHG) in noble gases. Using sub-millijoule pump pulses at a central wavelength of 1550 nm, broadband HHG in the range of 70-350 eV was demonstrated. The HHG coherence lengths of several millimeters were achieved by reaching the nonadiabatic regime of harmonic generation.
