Journal ArticleDOI

Crystalline-like ordering of 8CB liquid crystals revealed by time-domain Brillouin scattering.

TL;DR: These TDBS results reveal that confinement effects favor structuring of the smectic phase into a crystallinelike phase that can be observed at wide distances far beyond the molecular dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single-Shot Multi-Frame Imaging of Cylindrical Shock Waves in a Multi-Layered Assembly.

TL;DR: In this paper, single-shot multi-frame imaging of quasi-2D cylindrically converging shock waves as they propagate through a multi-layer target sample assembly is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intramolecular proton transfer of a 2-(2′,4′-dinitrobenzyl)pyridine studied by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the photochromic intramolecular proton transfer in 2-(2′,4′-dinitrobenzyl)pyridine was investigated by femtosecond pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Room Temperature Terahertz Electroabsorption Modulation by Excitons in Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenides.

TL;DR: It is observed that the THz pump pulse causes a selective modification of the coherence lifetime of the excitons, while keeping their oscillator strength and peak energy unchanged, which opens the way to the use of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides as compact and efficient platforms for high-speed electroabsorption devices.
