T1  - A tilted pulse-front setup for femtosecond transient grating spectroscopy in highly non-collinear geometries
JF  - Journal of optics
N2  - We demonstrate a tilted pulse-front transient grating (TG) technique that allows to optimally utilize time resolution as well as TG line density while probing under grazing incidence as typically done in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) or soft x-ray (SXR) experiments. Our optical setup adapts the pulse front tilt of the two pulses that create the TG to the grazing incident pulse. We demonstrate the technique using all 800 nm femtosecond laser pulses for TG generation on a vanadium dioxide film. We probe that grating via diffraction of a third 800 nm pulse. The time resolution of 90 fs is an improvement by a factor of 30 compared to our previous experiments on the same system. The scheme paves the way for EUV and SXR probing of optically induced TGs on any material.

T1  - Identification of extrinsic Mn contributions in Ga1-xMnxAs by field-dependent magnetic circular X-ray dichroism
N2  - We combine sensitivity to atomic number, chemical shifts, probing depth, and magnetic order in a field- dependent magnetic circular X-ray dichroism study at the Mn L-edge of the diluted ferromagnetic semiconductor Ga1-xMnxAs and observe different Mn constituents: ferromagnetic Mn with an n(d) > 5 lineshape and paramagnetic Mn with distinct n(d) = 5 lineshape. The paramagnetic Mn is assigned to interstitials with surface segregation tendency. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
