Hoffmann, Matthias C. 2017-02-20 We report local field strength enhancement of single-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses in an ultrafast time-resolved x-ray diffraction experiment. We show that patterning the sample with gold microstructures increases the THz field without changing the THz pulse shape or drastically affecting the quality of the x-ray diffraction pattern. We find a five-fold increase in THz-induced x-ray diffraction intensity change in the presence of microstructures on a SrTiO3 thin-film sample. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/305401 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/305401/files/ber_ltf.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1063/1.4977088 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Applied Physics Letters. - 2017, vol. 110, no. 8, p. 081106 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/53 Local terahertz field enhancement for time-resolved x-ray diffraction http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
