We report on experiments where solid-density Mg plasmas are created by heating with the focused output of the Linac Coherent Light Source x-ray free-electron laser. We study the K-shell emission from the helium- and lithium-like ions using Bragg crystal spectroscopy. Observation of the dielectronic satellites in lithium-like ions confirms that the M-shell electrons appear bound for these high charge states.

ConspectusMetal nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the most frequently used heterogeneous catalysts. However, only the surface atoms in the NPs can participate in catalytic reactions. To maximize the atomic efficiency, the active sites can be reduced to single atoms.

NIST DTSA-II is a free, open access, and fully-documented comprehensive software platform for electron-excited X-ray microanalysis with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), including tools for quantification, measurement optimization, and spectrum simulation. EDS simulation utilizes a Monte Carlo electron trajectory simulation that includes characteristic and continuum X-ray generation, self-absorption, EDS window absorption, and energy-to-charge conversion leading to peak broadening. Spectra are simulated on an absolute basis considering electron dose and spectrometer parameters.

Electron-excited X-ray microanalysis with energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) proceeds through the application of the software that extracts characteristic X-ray intensities and performs corrections for the physics of electron and X-ray interactions with matter to achieve quantitative elemental analysis. NIST DTSA-II is an open-access, fully documented, and freely available comprehensive software platform for EDS quantification, measurement optimization, and spectrum simulation. Spectrum simulation with DTSA-II enables the prediction of the EDS spectrum from any target composition for a specified electron dose and for the solid angle and window parameters of the EDS spectrometer.

Ultrafast phenomena on a femtosecond timescale are commonly examined by pump-probe experiments. This implies multiple measurements, where the sample under investigation is pumped with a short light pulse and then probed with a second pulse at various time delays to follow its dynamics. Recently, the principle of streaking extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses in the temporal domain has enabled recording the dynamics of a system within a single pulse.
