The intense X-ray pulses from free-electron laser sources (XFEL) allow imaging of single nanometer sized samples with single shots. In my talk I will briefly introduce XFELs and the single-shot imaging capabilities of free-flying particles at SwissFEL. I will then present a few showcase examples for studying the (static) morphology of nanoparticles and following light-induced processes on the...
Be it in heterogeneous catalysis, combustion, the atmosphere or in the interstellar medium, reactive and elusive intermediates are the key players responsible for the branching of chemical reaction pathways. This makes radicals, carbenes or ketenes in control of the selectivity of industrial processes. However, catching elusive intermediates is challenging but essential for unveiling the...
In this presentation, I will discuss advanced experimental techniques available at the Swiss Free Electron Laser (SwissFEL) for probing time-resolved chemical dynamics with femtosecond temporal resolution. My talk will focus on two key areas. First, I will explore time-resolved X-ray photoemission spectroscopy on gaseous targets, potentially extending the method to aerosol systems. Second, I...
