• spectroscopic imaging presents an additional degree of difficulty, especially in terms of acquisition time. To maintain a reasonable S/N ratio, higher probe-to-pump duty ratios were used (4% and 5% for the first and the second sequence, respectively). The pump–probe delays were set to focus on the SPV decay

• barriers are reopened to the starting position. Spectroscopic ellipsometry We performed variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE) using a spectroscopic imaging ellipsometer (nanofilm_ep3, Accurion, Göttingen, Germany) with a Xe arc lamp as a light source. Within one VASE measurement, the angle of

Remarkable also are the breakthroughs in structural insight due to the advent of Cs-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) [3][4] or spectroscopic imaging in scanning TEM (STEM) [5]. Related to facilities, certainly the worldwide impressive progress of synchrotron
