Few-femtosecond soft X-ray transient absorption spectroscopy with tuneable DUV-Vis pump pulses
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Achieving few-femtosecond resolution for a pump-probe experiment is crucial to measuring the fastest electron dynamics and for creating superpositions of valence states in quantum systems. However, traditional UV-Vis pump pulses cannot achieve few-fs durations and usually operate at fixed wavelengths. Here, we present, to our knowledge, an unprecedented temporal resolution and pump tuneability for UV-Vis-pumped soft X-ray transient absorption spectroscopy. We have combined few-fs deep-UV to visible tuneable pump pulses from resonant dispersive wave emission in hollow capillary fiber with attosecond soft X-ray probe pulses from high harmonic generation. We achieve sub-5-fs time resolution, sub-fs interferometric stability, and continuous tuneability of the pump pulses from 230 to 700 nm. We demonstrate that the pump can initiate an ultrafast photochemical reaction and that the dynamics at different atomic sites can be resolved simultaneously. These capabilities will allow studies of the fastest electronic dynamics in a large range of photochemical, photobiological and photovoltaic reactions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
