Ultrafast multi-cycle terahertz measurements of the electrical conductivity in strongly excited solids

The electrical conductivity is critical to understand warm dense matter, but the accurate measurement is extremely challenging. Here the authors use multi-cycle THz pulses to measure the conductivity of gold foils strongly heated by free-electron laser, determining the individual contributions of el...
