The reaction kinetics of energetic materials is a key factor in determining the detonation characteristics and safety. The complexity of the reaction process and the lack of experimental means remain ...

Fig. 1 (a) Confocal optical microscopy image of LSFL prefabricated on silicon surface. (b) Experiment setup of the collinear pump-probe imaging system. (c) Spectra of the white-light pulse with (red ...

Nonequilibrium response in a material driven by laser and electrical pulses can reveal many-body effects involving strong interactions between electrons and their surrounding medium. In ...

The ultrashort pump laser pulse interacts with a 10 nm-thick diamond-like carbon foil (DLC). The interaction region is illuminated with a probe laser pulse with a large optical spectrum, whose various ...

Stimulated Brillouin scattering microscopy enables all-optical, non-contact, high-spatial-resolution mechanical imaging with high specificity. Recent advances in quasi-continuous-wave stimulated ...

With the help of computer simulations, engineers can play with any combination of microstructures to see how certain materials can transform, for instance, into sound-focusing acoustic lenses or ...
