  • Water-vapor interfaces have been studied with many techniques, yet open questions persist about their electronic and molecular structure. Here, the authors demonstrate the application of soft x-ray second harmonic generation to study the water surface by leveraging attosecond pulses at the LCLS and a flat liquid sheet microjet, providing insights on the H-bond structure.

  • Topological defects play a crucial role in the behaviour of strongly correlated materials out of equilibrium. Now, ultrafast electron diffraction measurements on 1T-TiSe2 shed light on the defect formation process at sub-picosecond timescales.

  • The relationship between the charge density wave and excitonic correlations in a layered compound 1T-TiSe2 has remained controversial. Here, the authors observe a photo-induced dimensional crossover of the charge density wave and conclude that excitonic correlations are responsible for its out-of-plane phase coherence.

  • Understanding lithium dynamics in solid-state electrolytes used for Li-ion batteries can be challenging. Using nonlinear extreme-ultraviolet spectroscopies, a direct spectral signature of surface lithium ions showing a distinct blueshift relative to the bulk absorption spectra is observed in a prototypical solid-state electrolyte.

  • Optical vortices exhibit a corkscrew-like shape as they travel. The study of this phenomenon, known as singular optics, is now extended to the high-power regime where high-harmonic processes become evident. This type of radiation could help illuminate novel attosecond phenomena in atoms and molecules.

  • Ultrafast spectroscopies enable the characterization of quantum materials and of their functional properties arising from strong correlations and electronic topology. This Review discusses three emerging techniques: attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, solid-state high-harmonic generation spectroscopy and extreme ultraviolet-second harmonic generation spectroscopy.
