Abstract :
Summary form only given. Ultrashort x-ray pulses offer a unique combination of atomic-scale spatial and temporal resolution, which permits direct measurements of structural transients on an ultrafast time scale. Using time-resolved X-ray diffraction with femtosecond, multi-keV X-ray pulses we have studied transient lattice dynamics in optically excited semiconductors.
