在原子/分子空间尺度直接探测微观世界的飞秒量级动态复杂过程一直是科学家追求的梦想。2009年,X射线自由电子激光装置的出现使得这个梦想成为可能。文章将介绍近年来利用X射线自由电子激光装置在凝聚态物理、非线性光学、高压物理等研究领域取得的一些突破性进展,并展望其未来在解决重大物理问题中的可能应用。
The ability to probe the microscopic world with atomic spatial resolution on a femtosecond time scale is a long-sought dream of physicists. The inauguration of the first X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) in 2009 has made such a dream possible. This article will review several breakthroughs brought by XFEL in fields such as condensed matter physics, nonlinear optics, and warm dense matter.We will also present some perspective on future applications.
