New Model Clarifies Photoexcited Thin-Film Lattice Dynamics

No comprehensive study has yet been carried out to characterize the photoexcited lattice dynamics of an opaque thin film on a semi-infinite transparent substrate. As a result, ultrafast X-ray diffraction data for such samples can be challenging to interpret. Now a new study in the journal Structural Dynamics, from AIP Publishing, builds a model to help interpret such data.
