We describe an experimental setup, which measures transient chemical changes of photoexcited solutes in disordered systems via time-resolved X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) with picosecond temporal resolution. The setup combines a femtosecond amplified ...
Several new results and opportunities for ultrafast x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) are demonstrated. It is possible to work with highly dil. solns. in transmission mode without dramatic loss of signal-to-noise ratio. This is very promising as one can ...
We present a setup which allows the measurement of time-resolved x-ray absorption spectra with picosecond temporal resoln. on liq. samples at the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Labs. The temporal resoln. is limited by the pulse width o ...
The authors present the case for exploiting time-resolved x-ray absorption to study structural dynamics in the liq. phase. With this aim in mind and considering the large differences between absorption coeffs. in the optical and the x-ray domains as well a ...
The authors present a new technique to record single x-ray pulses in time-resolved x-ray absorption spectra spectroscopy (XAS) expts. at low frequencies around 1 kHz compared to the multibunch repetition rate at synchrotron radiation storage rings of sever ...
Calcns. are presented of the optimum conditions for performing a laser-pump x-ray probe time-resolved x-ray absorption expt. The results concerning sensitivity and feasibility for implementing the method are illustrated for the case of the nascent I radica ...
The photocycle of aqueous ruthenium-(trisbipyridine) [Ru(bpy)3]2+ was studied under high laser excitation intensities and high sample concentrations with picosecond resolved x-ray absorption spectroscopy. In a pump-probe scheme a femtosecond laser pulse pr ...
Accurate detn. of the transient electronic structures, which drive photochem. reactions, is crucial in chem. and biol. The authors report the detection of transient chem. changes on the picosecond time scale by x-ray-absorption near-edge structure of photo ...
