We report the expansion for the first time of x-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) to the ultra-fast time domain by implementing it as a pump probe photoemission technique.
Conventional XPD has proven to be a powerful and efficient tool to probe structural order in matter. The expansion to the time domain allows the exploration of the structural dynamics in surfaces giving a completely new tool for the direct observation of surface structural dynamics.
The novel technique has been implemented at the FLASH free electron laser facility at DESY (Hamburg) by employing a time-of-flight momentum microscope, and it has been applied for the first time to give structural information on the dynamics of a quasi-freestanding monolayer graphene sample following excitation by a 800nm laser pulse.
