Molecular dynamics: Slick switching of X-rays
Ferenc Krausz1 & Christian Spielmann1
Abstract
The structures of crystals, from metals to proteins, have successfully been explored with X-rays. An ultrafast switch turns this idea around and uses a crystal to control the timing of X-ray pulses.
Since their discovery some 100 years ago by Wilhelm Röntgen1, X-rays have found important uses in hospitals, laboratories and the exploration of space. They have proved particularly useful in investigations of the microscopic structure of matter2.
- Ferenc Krausz and Christian Spielmann are at the Centre for Advanced Light Sources, Photonics Institute, Vienna University of Technology, Gusshausstrasse 27, A-1040 Wien, Austria.
