High-intensity x-ray pulses from an x-ray free-electron laser are used to heat and probe a solid-density aluminum sample. The photon-energy-dependent transmission of the heating beam is studied through the use of a photodiode. Saturable absorption is observed, with the resulting transmission differing significantly from the cold case, in good agreement with atomic-kinetics simulations.
来自X射线自由电子激光的高强度X射线脉冲被用于加热和探测固态密度的铝样品。通过使用光电二极管研究加热光束的光子能量相关透射率。观察到了饱和吸收现象,其产生的透射率与冷态情况有显著差异,这与原子动力学模拟结果吻合良好。
