  abstract  = {We report on synchrotron-based high-repetition rate ultrafast x-ray diffraction (UXRD) experiments monitoring the transport of heat from an epitaxial La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO(3)/SrTiO(3) superlattice (SL) into the substrate on timescales from 100 ps to 4 mu s. Transient thermal lattice expansion was determined with an accuracy of 10(-7), corresponding to a sensitivity to temperature changes down to 0.01 K. We follow the heat flow within the SL and into the substrate after the impulsive laser heating leads to a small temperature rise of Delta T = 6 K. The transient lattice temperature can be simulated very well using the bulk heat conductivities. This contradicts the interpretation of previous UXRD measurements, which predicted a long-lasting expansion of SrRuO(3) for more than 200 ps. The disagreement could be resolved by assuming that the heat conductivity changes in the first hundred picoseconds.},

  abstract  = {We implemented an experimental scheme for ultrafast x-ray diffraction at storage rings based on a laser-driven Bragg-switch that shortens the x-ray pulses emitted from an undulator. The increased time-resolution is demonstrated by observing changes of intensity, position and width of the diffraction peaks of a La(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO(3)/SrTiO(3) superlattice sample after optical excitation, i.e., by quantitatively measuring the propagation of an expansion wave through the sample. These experimental transients with timescales of 35 to 60 ps evidence a reduction of the x-ray pulse duration by a factor of two.},

  abstract  = {We determined experimentally the complex transient optical dielectric function of a well-characterized polyelectrolyte/gold-nanoparticle composite system over a broad spectral range upon short pulse laser excitation by simultaneously measuring the time-dependent reflectance and transmittance of white light pulses with femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. We extracted directly the ultrafast changes in the real and imaginary parts of the effective dielectric function, epsilon(eff)(r) (omega,t)and epsilon(eff)(i) (omega,t), from the experiment. This complete experimental set of information on the time-dependent complex dielectric function challenges theories modeling the transient dielectric function of gold particles and the effective medium.},
