We describe a hybrid pixel array detector (EMPAD - electron microscope detector) adapted for use in applications, especially as universal scanning transmission microscopy. The 128 x consists of 500 um thick silicon diode bump-bonded pixel-by-pixel to an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). in-pixel circuitry provides 1,000,000:1 dynamic range within single frame, allowing the direct beam be imaged while still maintaining sensitivity. A 1.1 kHz framing rate enables rapid data...
The study of ultrafast dynamics in magnetic materials provides rich opportunities for greater fundamental understanding correlated phenomena solid-state matter, because many the basic microscopic mechanisms involved are as-yet unclear and still being uncovered. Recently, two different possible have been proposed to explain laser induced magnetization dynamics: spin currents spin-flip scattering. In this work, we use multilayers Fe Ni with metals insulators as spacer material conclusively...
The underlying physics of all ferromagnetic behavior is the cooperative interaction between individual atomic magnetic moments that results in a macroscopic magnetization. In this work, we use extreme ultraviolet pulses from high-harmonic generation as an element-specific probe ultrafast, optically driven, demagnetization Fe-Ni alloy (permalloy). We show for times shorter than characteristic timescale exchange coupling, magnetization Fe quenches more strongly Ni. Then start to randomize,...
Strong-field ionization provides fundamental insight into light-matter interactions, encoding the structure of atoms and molecules on sub\aa{}ngstr\"om subfemtosecond scales. In this Rapid Communication, we explore an important regime: strong-field by two-color circularly polarized laser fields. contrast to past work using linearly drivers, probe electron trajectories that are driven in a two-dimensional plane, thus separating tunneling angle from rescattering angle. This allows us make...
Ultrashort pulses of extreme ultraviolet light from high-harmonic generation are a new tool for probing coupled charge, spin, and phonon dynamics with element specificity, attosecond pump-probe synchronization, time resolution few femtoseconds in tabletop apparatus.

The excitation of a ferromagnetic film by femtosecond laser pulse causes an unexpectedly fast quenching the film's magnetization on subpicosecond time scales. microscopic physical mechanisms responsible for this remain scientific puzzle. authors employ extreme ultraviolet pulses produced high harmonic generation to follow how thin cobalt evolves after 40-fs pulse. By measuring time-, energy-, and angle-resolved magneto-optical response Co films across ${M}_{2,3}$ absorption edge, they obtain...
Electrical manipulation of magnetization without an external magnetic field is critical for the development advanced non-volatile magnetic-memory technology that can achieve high memory density and low energy consumption. Several recent studies have revealed efficient out-of-plane spin-orbit torques (SOTs) in a variety materials field-free type-z SOT switching. Here, we report on corresponding type-x configuration, showing significant in-plane unconventional spin polarizations from sputtered...
Phase matching of circularly polarized high-order harmonics driven by counter-rotating bi-chromatic lasers was recently predicted theoretically and demonstrated experimentally. In that work, phase analyzed assuming the total energy, spin angular momentum linear photons participating in process are conserved. Here we propose a new perspective on high harmonics. We derive an extended condition requiring propagation between classical vectorial laser pump fields. This allows us to include...
What does the diffraction pattern from a single atom look like? How it differ scattering long-range potential? With development of new high-dynamic range pixel array detectors to measure complete momentum distribution, these questions have immediate relevance for designing and understanding momentum-resolved imaging modes. We explore asymptotic limits short-range potentials. use simple quantum mechanical model explain general probability distribution in both real reciprocal space. Features...
We use short wavelength extreme ultraviolet light to independently measure the mechanical properties of disparate layers within a bilayer film for first time, with single-monolayer sensitivity. show that in Ni/Ta nanostructured systems, while their density ratio is not meaningfully changed from expected bulk, elastic are significantly modified, where nickel softens tantalum stiffens, relative bulk counterparts. In particular, presence or absence Ta capping layer influences Ni film. This...
