Abstract
The time evolution of the Bragg peaks of photo-excited gold nanofilms is measured using transmission ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) with 3.0 MeV electron pulses and the corresponding structure evolution is calculated using two-temperature molecular dynamics (2T-MD). The good agreement obtained between the measured and calculated Bragg peaks, over the full experimental timescale, enables the lattice temperature effects and the structural changes to be disentangled for the first time. The agreement demonstrates that 2T-MD is a reliable method for solving the inverse problem of structure determination of laser irradiated metals in UED measurements.
