World-record intensity in attosecond hard-X-ray pulses could unlock closer study of electrons in atoms and molecules
Researchers used the European XFEL to create X-ray flashes that were not only extremely short but also reached record intensity for this type of pulse. The researchers focused the X-rays to an area roughly 100,000 times smaller than the cross section of a typical human hair. This concentrated the X-ray light into a tiny but extremely powerful spot. The method could enable detailed studies of how electrons behave in atoms and molecules and, in th…

Record-Breaking Attosecond Hard X-Ray Flashes Bring Electron Motion Into
Researchers at the European XFEL have produced hard X-ray attosecond pulses with record intensity and fluence, focused to a spot 100,000 times smaller than a human hair, enabling new studies of electron dynamics in atoms and molecules.
Extremely short X-ray pulses with around 1020 W/cm2 should make electronic processes visible in atoms and molecules.The article X-ray flashes with record intensity should make electrons visible first appeared on ingenieur.de - Jobbörse und Nachrichtenportal für Ingenieure.
