Studies of photoinduced molecular dynamics using ion imaging and correlation analysis by McManus, JW

“…A photochemical process of particular interest is the rapid multiple ionisation of a molecule in an intense laser field that causes dissociation into many fragment ions, known as a Coulomb explosion. One of the main topics of this thesis is how the laser-induced Coulomb explosion of a target molecule can be used to characterising its atomic structure, including being able to track structural change following photoexcitation.…”

Echoes in Space and Time by Kang Lin, Peifen Lu, Junyang Ma, Xiaochun Gong, Qiying Song, Qinying Ji, Wenbin Zhang, Heping Zeng, Jian Wu, Gabriel Karras, Guillaume Siour, Jean-Michel Hartmann, Olivier Faucher, Erez Gershnabel, Yehiam Prior, Ilya Sh. Averbukh

“…Here, we observe hitherto unreported fractional echoes of high order, spatially rotated echoes, and the counterintuitive imaginary echoes at negative times. Coincidence Coulomb explosion imaging is used for a direct spatiotemporal analysis of various molecular alignment echoes, and the implications to echo phenomena in other fields of physics are discussed.…”

Multi-mass velocity-map imaging studies of photoinduced and electron-induced chemistry by Vallance, C

“…Multi-mass detection capabilities have also led to the development of two new tools for the chemical dynamics toolbox, in the form of Coulomb-explosion imaging and covariance-map imaging. These allow details of molecular structure to be followed in real time over the course of a chemical reaction, offering the tantalising prospect of recording real-time ‘molecular movies’ of chemical dynamics. …”

Various damage mechanisms in carbon and silicon materials under femtosecond X-ray irradiation by Medvedev Nikita, Tkachenko Viktor, Lipp Vladimir, Li Zheng, Ziaja Beata

“…We indicate the following conditions: those producing thermal melting of targets as a result of electron-ion energy exchange; non-thermal phase transitions due to modification of the interatomic potential; Coulomb explosion due to accumulated net charge in finite-size systems; spallation or ablation at higher fluences due to detachment of sample fragments; and warm dense matter formation. …”
