Acoustic response of a laser-excited polycrystalline Au-film studied by ultrafast Debye–Scherrer diffraction at a table-top short-pulse x-ray source

The transient acoustic response of a free-standing, polycrystalline thin Au-film upon femtosecond optical excitation has been studied by time-resolved Debye–Scherrer x-ray diffraction using ultrashort Cu Kα x-ray pulses from a laser-driven plasma x-ray source. The temporal strain evolution has been...
