  1. Attosecond Light and Science at the Time-scale of the Electron – • Coherent X-rays from Ultrafast Lasers Henry Kapteyn and Margaret Murnane

  2. Outline • Take attosecond electron rescattering physics, discovered just over 20 years ago, to generate tabletop coherent x-ray beams • Use ultrafast x-rays to visualize, interact with, and control the nanoworld, to simultaneously manipulate electrons, atoms and molecules in quantum systems • Table-top microscopes and nanoprobes with unprecedented elemental, spatial and temporal resolution

  3. Bright, coherent, ultrafast, soft x-ray beams on a tabletop • Focus a femtosecond laser beam into a gas • Extreme nonlinear optics upshifts visible laser light into the x-ray region • When laser and x-ray phase velocities matched, get coherent bright output Laser-like, ultrafast, soft x-ray beams from 3 – 30 nm Electron paths

  4. Applications of coherent, ultrafast, x-ray beams span a broad range of science and technology • Molecular imaging: image changing electronic orbital and molecular structure (Science 317, 1374 (2007); Science 322, 1081 (2008); Science 322, 1207 (2008)) Surface science: probe charge transfer processes on surfaces (PRL 101, 046101 (2008)) Magnetics: Probe nanodomains, magnetic dynamics (Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 257402 (2009)) Nanoimaging: High resolution 3D imaging of thick samples using coherent lenslessimaging (OL 34, 1618 (2009); PNAS 105, 24 (2008); Nature 460, 1088 (2009); Nature tbp (Jan 14, 2010)) High frequency acoustic metrology: Characterize thin films, interfaces, adhesion (Applied Physics Letters 94, 093103 (2009)) Nanothermal transport: probe heat flow in nanostructures (Nature Materials, accepted (2009))

  5. Applications of coherent, ultrafast, x-ray beams span a broad range of science and technology How fast can a magnetic material switch? How do nanodomains interact? How to catalysts work? Can nanoparticles enhance photovoltaic efficiency? How are electrons and atoms dynamically coupled in a molecule? How fast can an electron change states? • Molecular imaging: image changing electronic orbital and molecular structure (Science 317, 1374 (2007); Science 322, 1081 (2008); Science 322, 1207 (2008)) Surface science: probe charge transfer processes on surfaces (PRL 101, 046101 (2008)) Magnetics: Probe nanodomains, magnetic dynamics (Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 257402 (2009)) Image thick samples at the nanometer level using a tabletop lensless microscope How to probe and characterize interfaces, adhesion, and very thin films? How fast does heat flow from a nanostructure into the bulk?
