Description
Here I give an overview of some applications of femtosecond time-resolved x-ray methods to study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of materials. Non-equilibrium pathways represent a novel means of manipulating order parameters, but in order to effectively understand and use these pathways we need experimental means to "see" the dynamics associated with these order parameters. X-rays offer some unique opportunities in this regard, largely due to the photon energy and momentum.
