Static and time-resolved measurement of wide-angle X-ray diffraction and X-ray emission spectra of anatase TiO2 NPs. (a) Wide-angle diffraction intensity profile of the TiO2 (101) peak. (b) X-ray emission spectra of Ti Kα1 (4.510 keV) and Kα2 (4.504 keV). (c) Time-resolved X-ray diffraction of TiO2 NPs. At 40 ps, significant (101) peak broadening corresponding to a 70% increase in FWHM is presented. It implies melting of the crystalline domain after laser irradiation. (d) Time-resolved X-ray emission spectrum of TiO2 NPs. At 10 ps, the maximum energy shift, −0.6 eV, was observed. Compared with diffraction signals, the changes in the emission spectra were inappreciable after a 40 ps delay. |
