Element- and enantiomer-selective visualization of molecular motion in real-time

Majed Chergui, Malte Oppermann, Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel

Ultrafast optical-domain spectroscopies allow to monitor in real time the motion of nuclei in molecules. Achieving element-selectivity had to await the advent of time resolved X-ray spectroscopy, which is now commonly carried at X-ray free electron lasers. ...

Ultrafast X-ray Spectroscopy of Haem Proteins

Majed Chergui, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira

In this article we revisit our recent picosecond and femtosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) experiments, probing the ultrafast electronic and geometric evolution of photoexcited haem proteins, namely ferrous N ...

SWISS CHEMICAL SOC2022

In this thesis, we exploited optical and X-ray pump-probe methods in a synergistic approach to study the interplay of the electronic, spin and structural degrees of freedom in two class of complex systems relevant for solar energy conversion applications: ...

Ultrafast X-ray Spectroscopy of Heme Proteins

Dominik Kinschel

With the advent of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) time-resolved X-ray spectroscopic techniques have advanced to the femtosecond regime. These are element selective techniques which offer unique insight into the electronic and chemical environment and d ...

New architecture for the analog front-end of Medipix4

Jean-Michel Sallese, Adil Koukab, Viros Sriskaran

The Medipix4 chip is the latest member of the family of Medipix pixel detector readout chips aimed at high rate spectroscopic X-ray imaging. Unlike its predecessors, it will be possible to tile the chip on all 4 sides permitting seamless large area coverag ...

Experimental station Bernina at SwissFEL: condensed matter physics on femtosecond time scales investigated by X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods

Christoph Peter Hauri, Paul Beaud, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Jochen Rittmann

The Bernina instrument at the SwissFEL Aramis hard X-ray free-electron laser is designed for studying ultrafast phenomena in condensed matter and material science. Ultrashort pulses from an optical laser system covering a large wavelength range can be used ...

Micro-focused MHz pink beam for time-resolved X-ray emission spectroscopy

Christoph Bostedt, Andre Al Haddad

The full radiation from the first harmonic of a synchrotron undulator (between 5 and 12 keV) at the Advanced Photon Source is microfocused using a stack of beryllium compound refractive lenses onto a fast-moving liquid jet and overlapped with a high-repeti ...

Nanosecond electron pulses in the analytical electron microscopy of a fast irreversible chemical reaction

We show how the kinetics of a fast and irreversible chemical reaction in a nanocrystalline material at high temperature can be studied using nanosecond electron pulses in an electron microscope. Infrared laser pulses first heat a nanocrystalline oxide laye ...
