Description
We theoretically explore how attosecond x-ray and extreme ultraviolet pulses can be employed for imaging electron dynamics in real time. In the first part of my talk, I will present our ab initio description of x-ray experiments on laser-driven materials, namely, attosecond x-ray diffraction and absorption spectroscopy from materials during the time they are optically-driven by light. In the second part of my talk, I will talk about attosecond momentum-resolved resonant x-ray scattering to follow electron dynamics in a pump-probe scheme. I will show that it is a powerful imaging technique to follow electron dynamics in molecules and materials.
