Laser-induced transient structure and stress in a platinum(111) crystal studied by time-resolved X-ray diffraction Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Nanosecond time-resolved X-ray diffraction has been employed to study the transient structure deformation of a Pt(111) crystal induced by laser pulse heating. A direct-imaging X-ray CCD system with high spatial resolution allowed the detection of structural changes of the order of 103. The time evolution of lattice strain was measured with 12ns resolution. The lattice spacings were found to suffer a transient change from 2.2653 to 2.2695 (10) , and the strain reached its maximum value 10ns after laser irradiation.
