Diffractive optics have interesting properties that make them highly attractive for use with X-ray and EUV radiation. In contrast to other kinds of x-ray optics such as mirrors and lenses, diffractive optics allow for precise control of the optical wave front and the realization of complex optical functionalities. Applications range from time dispersive elements for single-shot demagnetization...

Jake Koralek (Stanford / SLAC)5/21/26, 2:50 PMInvited talk
Interfaces between different phases or materials are where all the action is. Solid and liquid interfaces are central to chemical and biological as well as technological and industrial processes, yet their molecular level structure and functioning are difficult to directly study for a variety of reasons. In this talk I will discuss the use of nonlinear X-ray spectroscopy as a direct probe of...

The customization of Low-Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) sensors, originally developed for high-energy physics, to detect soft X-rays promises significant performance improvements over state-of-the-art low-energy detectors in terms of sensitivity, speed, and radiation hardness. By combining the intrinsic internal gain of LGADs with a thin entrance window optimized for high quantum efficiency,...

29. Nanoscale coherent surface phonon XUV spectroscopy of optically-induced phase transition in FeRhDr Naman Agarwal (Elettra - Sincrotrone Trieste S. c. p. A.)5/21/26, 4:00 PMContributed talk
The observation of ultrafast manipulation and coherent control of spins in magnetic materials at room temperature has prompted the intense experimental and theoretical efforts to understand the underlying microscopic mechanisms and relevant interactions (exchange, spin-lattice, electron-phonon, coulomb etc.) driving such magnetic phenomena at picosecond timescales.
Stoichiometric B2 ordered...
