Temperature effects on the nanoscale thermoelastic response of a SiO2 membrane

We crossed two femtosecond extreme ultraviolet (EUV) pulses on a 100 nm thick amorphous membrane of SiO2, generating transient gratings (TGs) of light intensity with 84 nm spatial periodicity. The EUV TG excitation gave rise to the efficient generation of Lamb waves (LWs) and of a temperature grating, whose dynamics was studied at two different initial sample …

Disclosing the nature of the collective THz dynamics in hydrogen-bonded liquids

The behavior of liquids has always been a subject of strong interest and still presents many challenging issues. A paradigmatic example is the understanding of their atomic-scale collective dynamics. Experimentally accessible to inelastic neutron and X-ray scattering, this regime has recently disclosed an unexpectedly rich scenario made up of more than one collective excitation. However, …
