Extended Data Fig. 8: Solvent heating contribution to the TRXL signal.
From: Mapping the emergence of molecular vibrations mediating bond formation
a, Experimental difference scattering curves, qΔS(q), of FeCl3 solution measured at time delays from −740 fs to 2,260 fs. b, The first four LSVs multiplied by their corresponding singular values. c, The first four RSVs multiplied by their corresponding singular values. Only the first LSV and RSV contain meaningful signals, and so a single difference scattering curve (that is, the first LSV) accounts for the contribution to solvent heating on the scattering data measured with a water solvent. In the structural analysis, the first LSV was used as a scattering intensity change upon increase in temperature of the water solvent, ΔSheat(q).
