Photopyroelectric spectroscopy and calorimetry
D Dadarlat, C Tripon, Iain R. White, Dorota Korte, 2022, review article

Abstract: In this tutorial, we present an overview of the development of the photopyroelectric (PPE) technique, from its beginnings in 1984, through to the present day. The tutorial is organized in five sections, exploring both theoretical and experimental aspects of PPE detection, as well as some important spectroscopic and calorimetric applications. In the “Introduction” section we present the fundamental basics of photothermal phenomena and the state-of-the-art of the photopyroelectric technique. In the “Theoretical aspects” section we describe some specific cases of experimental interest, with examples in both back and front detection configurations. Several mathematical expressions for the PPE signal in specific detection modes (combined back-front configurations and PPE-IRT methods) are also deduced. The “Instrumentation and experiment” section contains two sub-sections. The first describes several examples of set-ups used for both room temperature and temperature-controlled experiments. The second sub-section is dedicated to the configuration of detection cells and to the various sensor/sample assemblies that are currently used in spectroscopic and calorimetric experiments for both liquid and solid samples. The “Applications” section is in fact a collection of experimental results dedicated to the thermal characterization of a wide range of solid and liquid samples. At the end of this section we present some examples that have been selected to convey that the PPE technique is not only useful in the investigation of optical and thermal properties of a variety of condensed matter samples, but also to study physical and chemical processes such as molecular associations, food adulteration or phase transitions. In “Concluding remarks” we summarize the advantages of this technique in spectroscopic and calorimetric applications.

Towards ultrafast X-ray condensed matter physics with MHz repetition rate HHG sources
Jurij Urbančič, 2015, published scientific conference contribution abstract

Abstract: In recent years, an increasing number of ultrafast material science experiments are based on the use of table-top high-harmonic generation (HHG) lightsources [1,2]. Despite the huge success of these first experiments, a major drawback has been the limited repetition rate of these lightsources, in particular with respect to all types of photoemission experiments. Here, we combine newly developed high-repetition rate HHG sources [3,4] with state-of-the-art element-specific magneto-optical Kerr experiments. The chances and prospects for future ultrafast materials science experiments with these lightsources will be discussed.
