Evolution and ion kinetics of a XUV-induced nanoplasma in ammonia clusters

Marcel Drabbels, Andrew Daniel Bonnar Clark, Verónica Oliver Álvarez de Lara

High-intensity extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses from a free-electron laser can be used to create a nanoplasma in clusters. In reference Michiels et al (2020 Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 22 7828-34) we investigated the formation of excited states in an XUV-induc ...

Developing a UV climatology for public health purposes using satellite data

Athanasios Nenes, David Vernez

The effects of solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation on life on Earth differ greatly. While overexposure to UV rays is harmful, small amounts of exposure are necessary for the synthesis of Vitamin D and good health. To optimize individual exposure to solar UV, ...

Ultrafast relaxation of photoexcited superfluid He nanodroplets

Marcel Drabbels, Alberto Hernando de Castro

The relaxation of photoexcited nanosystems is a fundamental process of light–matter interaction. Depending on the couplings of the internal degrees of freedom, relaxation can be ultrafast, converting electronic energy in a few fs, or slow, if the energy is ...

Tracking attosecond electronic coherences using phase-manipulated extreme ultraviolet pulses

Marcel Drabbels, Primoz Rebernik Ribic

The recent development of ultrafast extreme ultraviolet (XUV) coherent light sources bears great potential for a better understanding of the structure and dynamics of matter. Promising routes are advanced coherent control and nonlinear spectroscopy schemes ...

Imaging plasma formation in isolated nanoparticles with ultrafast resonant scattering

Christoph Bostedt, Daniela Rupp, Alessandro Colombo

We have recorded the diffraction patterns from individual xenon clusters irradiated with intense extreme ultraviolet pulses to investigate the influence of light-induced electronic changes on the scattering response. The clusters were irradiated with short ...

Time-resolved formation of excited atomic and molecular states in XUV-induced nanoplasmas in ammonia clusters

Marcel Drabbels, Andrew Daniel Bonnar Clark, Verónica Oliver Álvarez de Lara

High intensity XUV radiation from a free-electron laser (FEL) was used to create a nanoplasma inside ammonia clusters with the intent of studying the resulting electron-ion interactions and their interplay with plasma evolution. In a plasma-like state, ele ...

Influence of Ablation on Vacuum-Ultraviolet Radiation in a Plasma Wind Tunnel Flow

Pénélope Leyland

Plasma wind tunnel experiments have been performed simulating a Hayabusa reentry trajectory point at 78.8km altitude with a velocity of 11.7km/s corresponding to a local mass-specific enthalpy of 68.4MJ/kg and a stagnation pressure of 2.44kPa. Ablation-rad ...

Carbon Nanotube Array Based Binary Gabor Zone Plate Lenses

Sunan Deng, Chaohui Li

Diffractive zone plates have a wide range of applications from focusing x-ray to extreme UV radiation. The Gabor zone plate, which suppresses the higher-order foci to a pair of conjugate foci, is an attractive alternative to the conventional Fresnel zone p ...

Spectrally Filtered Imaging and Vacuum Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Preheated Models in X2

Pénélope Leyland, Umar Sheikh

This study presents calibrated vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopic measurements and filtered cyanogen violet band images for steel, cold graphite, and preheated graphite models at three reentry-relevant conditions in the X2 Expansion Tube. An analysis of thes ...

Extreme Ultraviolet Transient Grating Measurement of Insulator-Metal Transition Dynamics in VO2

Jakob Grilj

We demonstrate spectrally resolved transient grating (TG) spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) near the M-edge of vanadium dioxide. Time-dependent and broadband EUV-TG measurements separate the index of refraction change due to the insulator to me ...

A first-principles self-consistent model of plasma turbulence and kinetic neutral dynamics in the tokamak scrape-off layer

Paolo Ricci, Christoph Wersal

A first-principles self-consistent model that couples plasma and neutral physics suitable for the simulation of turbulent plasma behavior in the tokamak SOL is presented. While the plasma is modeled by the drift-reduced two fluid Braginskii equations, a ki ...

Femtosecond photoelectron and photoion spectrometer with vacuum ultraviolet probe pulses

Jakob Grilj

We describe a femtosecond photoelectron and photoion spectroscopy setup using a simple, novel way to produce a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) probe pulse. We isolate the femtosecond VUV pulse from a high harmonic continuum by using the bandpass characteristics o ...

Illuminant estimation and detection using near infrared

Sabine Süsstrunk

Digital camera sensors are sensitive to wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (200-400nm) to the near-infrared (700-100nm) bands. This range is, however, reduced because the aim of photographic cameras is to capture and reproduce the visible spectrum (4 ...

Electric and magnetic resonances in arrays of coupled gold nanoparticle in-tandem pairs

Olivier Martin

We present an experimental and theoretical study on the optical properties of arrays of gold nanoparticle in-tandem pairs (nanosandwiches). The well-ordered Au pairs with diameters down to 35 nm and separation distances down to 10 nm were fabricated using ...
