abstract
Transient structures in solids and liquids have been studied by means of time-resolved X-ray diffraction and absorption with nanosecond and picosecond resolution. These experimental studies utilized two table top laser-driven X-ray sources: a picosecond laser-driven X-ray diode and a femtosecond laser produced plasma. Kinetics of single crystals lattice deformation induced by laser pulse heating has been recorded with 10 ps resolution. The development and utilization of picosecond and subpicosecond EXAFS experimental system is described. 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
