A high repetition rate of 2 kHz was achieved by use of a readout camera with built-in image processing capabilities. The effects of sweep jitter were removed by using a UV timing reference. The use of single-photon counting allows the camera to reach a high quantum efficiency by not limiting the divergence of the photoelectrons.}, language = {en} } @article{ShaydukNavirianLeitenbergeretal.2011, author = {Shayduk, Roman and Navirian, Hengameh and Leitenberger, Wolfram and Goldshteyn, Jevgenij and Vrejoiu, Ionela and Weinelt, Martin and Gaal, Peter and Herzog, Marc and von Korff Schmising, Clemens and Bargheer, Matias}, title = {Nanoscale heat transport studied by high-resolution time-resolved x-ray diffraction}, series = {New journal of physics : the open-access journal for physics}, volume = {13}, journal = {New journal of physics : the open-access journal for physics}, number = {11}, publisher = {IOP Publ.

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.}, language = {en} } @article{ShaydukHerzogBojahretal.2013, author = {Shayduk, Roman and Herzog, Marc and Bojahr, Andre and Schick, Daniel and Gaal, Peter and Leitenberger, Wolfram and Navirian, Hengameh and Sander, Mathias and Goldshteyn, Jevgenij and Vrejoiu, Ionela and Bargheer, Matias}, title = {Direct time-domain sampling of subterahertz coherent acoustic phonon spectra in SrTiO3 using ultrafast x-ray diffraction}, series = {Physical review : B, Condensed matter and materials physics}, volume = {87}, journal = {Physical review : B, Condensed matter and materials physics}, number = {18}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, address = {College Park}, issn = {1098-0121}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevB.87.184301}, pages = {7}, year = {2013}, abstract = {We synthesize sub-THz longitudinal quasimonochromatic acoustic phonons in a SrTiO3 single crystal using a SrRuO3/SrTiO3 superlattice as an optical-acoustic transducer. The generated acoustic phonon spectrum is determined using ultrafast x-ray diffraction. The analysis of the generated phonon spectrum in the time domain reveals a k-vector dependent phonon lifetime. It is observed that even at sub-THz frequencies the phonon lifetime agrees with the 1/omega(2) power law known from Akhiezer's model for hyper sound attenuation. The observed shift of the synthesized spectrum to the higher q is discussed in the framework of nonlinear effects appearing due to the high amplitude of the synthesized phonons.}, language = {en} }
