摘要：
我们利用德国欧洲XFEL（X射线自由电子激光器）上一种新型超高分辨率（ΔE~0.1 eV）的实验装置，开展X射线汤姆逊散射（XRTS）实验以测量电子特性，研究了环境条件下铝中的集体等离激元激发，即便在低动量转移下也能实现极高精度的测量。借此，我们解决了此前报道的从头算含时密度泛函理论模拟与实验观测结果之间的差异。此次验证的高分辨率XRTS测量能力将彻底改变极端密度、温度和压力下物质实验的诊断方式，充分释放最先进XFEL装置的全部潜力，用于研究行星内部条件、理解惯性约束聚变应用以及材料科学与发现领域。
英文摘要：
Using a novel ultrahigh resolution ($ΔE \sim 0.1\,$eV) setup to measure electronic features in x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) experiments at the European XFEL in Germany, we have studied the collective plasmon excitation in aluminium at ambient conditions, which we can measure very accurately even at low momentum transfers. As a result, we can resolve previously reported discrepancies between ab initio time-dependent density functional theory simulations and experimental observations. The demonstrated capability for high-resolution XRTS measurements will be a game changer for the diagnosis of experiments with matter under extreme densities, temperatures, and pressures, and unlock the full potential of state-of-the-art x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) facilities to study planetary interior conditions, to understand inertial confinement fusion applications, and for material science and discovery.
