Abstract
We study the optical-pump induced ultrafast transient change of x-ray absorption at L3 absorption resonances of the transition metals Ni and Fe in the Fe0.5Ni0.5 alloy. We find the effect for both elements to occur simultaneously on a femtosecond timescale. This effect may hence be used as a handy cross correlation scheme, providing a time-zero reference for ultrafast optical-pump soft x-ray-probe measurement. The method benefits from a relatively simple experimental setup as the sample itself acts as time-reference tool. In particular, this technique works with low flux ultrafast soft x-ray sources. The measurements are compared to the cross correlation method introduced in an earlier publication.
我们研究了在 Fe0.5Ni0.5 合金中过渡金属 Ni 和 Fe 的 L 3 吸收共振处，光泵诱导 X 射线吸收的超快瞬态变化。我们发现这两种元素的效应在飞秒时间尺度上同时发生。因此，这种效应可作为一种方便的交叉相关方案，为超快光泵软 X 射线探针测量提供时间零点参考。这种方法的优点是实验装置相对简单，因为样品本身就是时间参考工具。这项技术尤其适用于低通量超快软 X 射线源。测量结果与早期出版物中介绍的交叉相关方法进行了比较。

期刊介绍：
Structural Dynamics focuses on the recent developments in experimental and theoretical methods and techniques that allow a visualization of the electronic and geometric structural changes in real time of chemical, biological, and condensed-matter systems. The community of scientists and engineers working on structural dynamics in such diverse systems often use similar instrumentation and methods.
The journal welcomes articles dealing with fundamental problems of electronic and structural dynamics that are tackled by new methods, such as:
Time-resolved X-ray and electron diffraction and scattering,
Coherent diffractive imaging,
Time-resolved X-ray spectroscopies (absorption, emission, resonant inelastic scattering, etc.),
Time-resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and electron microscopy,
Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopies (UPS, XPS, ARPES, etc.),
Multidimensional spectroscopies in the infrared, the visible and the ultraviolet,
Nonlinear spectroscopies in the VUV, the soft and the hard X-ray domains,
Theory and computational methods and algorithms for the analysis and description of structuraldynamics and their associated experimental signals.
These new methods are enabled by new instrumentation, such as:
X-ray free electron lasers, which provide flux, coherence, and time resolution,
New sources of ultrashort electron pulses,
New sources of ultrashort vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) to hard X-ray pulses, such as high-harmonic generation (HHG) sources or plasma-based sources,
New sources of ultrashort infrared and terahertz (THz) radiation,
New detectors for X-rays and electrons,
New sample handling and delivery schemes,
New computational capabilities.
