LUXEM at the photographic show “researchers: the building blocks of progress”
The photographic show, organized by SHARPER-ERN in collaboration with “Associazione Fotografica Citta’ Giardino (AFCG)”, took place at Palazzo Broletto in Pavia, 25-28 September. It aimed to show to the public the actions underpinning scientific research, through extracts from everyday life of researchers in their laboratory. We are grateful to the organizers for choosing our work for this important dissemination event.

Time zero signal!
Signal pump-probe detection from our EUV microscope via sum-frequency generation. This three-wave mixing process which occurs on a non-linear crystal when two high-intensity photon beams overlap within a few millionths of meters in space and a few millionths of billionths of seconds in time.
International School on Ultrafast x-ray & Attosecond Science
The “Paris-Saclay Ultrafast X-ray and Attosecond Science School” is a biannual thematic school organized by the Institute for the Sciences of Light at Paris-Saclay University, in collaboration with the “The Frontiers of Attosecond and Ultrafast X-ray Science School” in Erice, Italy. Antonio Mazzarone and Domenico Compagnini attended the School presenting posters entitled “Correlative Ultrafast EUV Microscopy and Transient Reflectivity of Functionalized Nanoparticles Supracrystals” and “Design and Implementation of in-line diagnostics for real-time ultrafast EUV ptychography”.

A setup for hard x-ray time-resolved resonant inelastic x-ray scattering at SwissFEL
Our new research article published in Structural Dynamics
Our Research published in OPTICA and featured on the Cover Page
The work “High-resolution ptychographic imaging at a seeded free-electron laser source using OAM beams” stems from the collaboration between DiProI at FERMI Free Electron Laser (FEL), LUXEM, and the Colorado School of Mines. For the first time, we demonstrate the feasibility of single-shot per position ptychography on a nanostructured object at a seeded FEL, using extreme ultraviolet OAM beams of different topological charge orders, generated with spiral zone plates.
Simone Restelli obtains his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Pavia
Congratulations to Dr. Simone Restelli for successfully defending his Ph.D. dissertation entitled “Understanding functional properties of spinel oxide nanoparticles and thin films by static and dynamic experimental approaches”!
