Abstract

Dusting off an old technique Inspired by the 'dusty mirror' experiment that Isaac Newton used to demonstrate interference, Chapman et al. have devised a scheme to study microscopic particles with ultrafast and intense X-ray pulses. Newton's experiment involved visible light scattering from dust particles on the front of a back-quicksilvered mirror twice (once going into the mirror, once on its way out), and the corresponding circular interference patterns. In the modern version, X-ray pulses are focused on a thin membrane with polystyrene particles placed in front of an X-ray mirror. A pulse passes through the sample, triggering the explosion of a particle, and is then reflected back on to the sample by the mirror. The resulting diffraction pattern contains accurate time and spatially resolved information about the exploding particles. This type of X-ray 'flash' imaging may be used to explore the three-dimensional dynamics of materials at the timescale of atomic motion.
