We present new developments of the laser-induced transient grating spectroscopy (TGS) technique that enable the measurement of large area 2D maps of thermal diffusivity and surface acoustic wave speed. Additional capabilities include targeted measurements and the ability to accommodate samples with increased surface roughness. These new capabilities are demonstrated by recording large TGS maps of deuterium implanted tungsten, linear friction welded aerospace alloys and high entropy alloys with a range of grain sizes. The results illustrate the ability to view grain microstructure in elastically anisotropic samples, and to detect anomalies in samples, for example due to irradiation and previous measurements. They also point to the possibility of using TGS to quantify grain size at the surface of polycrystalline materials.

Structure-property relationships are the foundation of materials science. Linking microstructure and material properties is essential for predicting material response to driving forces, managing in-service material degradation, and engineering materi
als for optimal performance. Elastic, thermal, and acoustic properties provide a convenient gateway to directly or indirectly probe material structure across multiple length scales. We review how using the laser-induced transient grating spectroscopy (TGS) technique, which uses a transient diffraction grating to generate surface acoustic waves (SAWs) and temperature gratings on a material surface, non-destructively reveals the material elasticity, thermal diffusivity, and energy dissipation on the sub-microsecond timescale, within a tunable sub-surface depth. This technique has already been applied to many challenging problems in materials characterization, from analysis of radiation damage, to colloidal crystals, to phonon-mediated thermal transport in nanostructured systems, to crystal orientation and lattice parameter determination. Examples of these applications, as well as inferring aspects of microstructural evolution, illustrate the wide potential reach of TGS to solve old materials challenges, and to uncover new science. We conclude by looking ahead at the tremendous potential of TGS for materials discovery and optimization when applied in situ to dynamically evolving systems.
Knowledge of mechanical and physical property evolution due to irradiation damage is essential for the development of future fission and fusion reactors. Ion-irradiation provides an excellent proxy for studying irradiation damage, allowing high damag
e doses without sample activation. Limited ion-penetration-depth means that only few-micron-thick damaged layers are produced. Substantial effort has been devoted to probing the mechanical properties of these thin implanted layers. Yet, whilst key to reactor design, their thermal transport properties remain largely unexplored due to a lack of suitable measurement techniques. Here we demonstrate non-contact thermal diffusivity measurements in ion-implanted tungsten for nuclear fusion armour. Alloying with transmutation elements and the interaction of retained gas with implantation-induced defects both lead to dramatic reductions in thermal diffusivity. These changes are well captured by our modelling approaches. Our observations have important implications for the design of future fusion power plants.
Nonlinear spectroscopy in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft x-ray spectral range offers the opportunity for element selective probing of ultrafast dynamics using core-valence transitions (Mukamel et al., Acc. Chem. Res. 42, 553 (2009)). We demon
strate a step on this path showing core-valence sensitivity in transient grating spectroscopy with EUV probing. We study the optically induced insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) of a VO2 film with EUV diffraction from the optically excited sample. The VO2 exhibits a change in the 3p-3d resonance of V accompanied by an acoustic response. Due to the broadband probing we are able to separate the two features.
We demonstrate that photoemission properties of GaAs photocathodes (PCs) can be altered by surface acoustic waves (SAWs) generated on the PC surface due to dynamical piezoelectric fields of SAWs. Simulations with COMSOL indicate that electron effecti
ve lifetime in p-doped GaAs may increase by a factor of 10x to 20x. It implies a significant, by a factor of 2x to 3x, increase of quantum efficiency (QE) for GaAs PCs. Essential steps in device fabrication are demonstrated, including deposition of an additional layer of ZnO for piezoelectric effect enhancement, measurements of I-V characteristic of the SAW device, and ability to survive high-temperature annealing.
Low dimensional systems, nanowires, in particular, have exhibited excellent optical and electronic properties. Understanding the thermal properties in semiconductor nanowires is very important for their applications in their electronic devices. In th
e present study, the thermal conductivity of a freestanding silicon nanowire (NW) is estimated employing the Raman spectroscopy. The advantage of this technique is that the light source (laser) can be used both as heating and excitation source. The variations of the first-order Raman peak position of the freestanding silicon NW with respect to temperature and laser power are carried out. A critical analysis of effective laser power absorbed by exposed silicon NW, the detailed Raman study along with the concept of longitudinal heat distribution in silicon NW, the thermal conductivity of the freestanding silicon NW of 112 nm diameter is estimated to be ~53 W/m.K.
