In recent years, the use of MeV electrons from radio frequency guns has been widely adopted to take advantage of the relativistic suppression of the space charge effects that otherwise limit the temporal resolution of the technique. Nevertheless, there is not a clear choice for the optimal energy for a UED instrument. Scaling to beam energies higher than a few MeV does pose significant technical challenges, mainly related to the inherent increase in diffraction camera length associated with the smaller Bragg angles. In this study, we report a solution by using a compact post-sample magnetic optical system to magnify the diffraction pattern from a crystal Au sample illuminated by an 8.2 MeV electron beam. Our method employs, as one of the lenses of the optical system, a triplet of compact, high field gradients (>500 T/m), small-gap (3.5 mm) Halbach permanent magnet quadrupoles.

We first provide an overview of the PFC methodology, highlighting recent advances to incorporate phononic and heat transport mechanisms. To simulate laser heating, energy is deposited onto a number of polycrystalline, two-dimensional samples through the application of initial stochastic fluctuations. We first demonstrate the ability of the model to simulate plasticity and recrystallization events that follow laser heating in the isothermal limit. Importantly, we also show that sufficient kinetic energy can cause voiding, which serves to suppress shock propagation. We subsequently employ a newly developed thermo-density PFC theory, coined thermal field crystal (TFC), to investigate laser heating of polycrystalline samples under non-isothermal conditions. We observe that the latent heat of transition associated with ordering can lead to long lasting metastable structures and defects, with a healing rate linked to the thermal diffusion. Finally, we illustrate that the lattice temperature simulated by the TFC model is in qualitative agreement with predictions of conventional electron-phonon two-temperature models.

However, for complicated systems this can be difficult, a challenge compounded when dynamics becomes important owing to the large number of calculations required to capture the time-evolving observable. While machine learning architectures have been shown to represent a promising approach for rapidly predicting spectral lineshapes, achieving simultaneously accurate and sufficiently comprehensive training data is challenging. Herein, we introduce Δ-learning for x-ray spectroscopy. Instead of directly learning the structure-spectrum relationship, the Δ-model learns the structure dependent difference between a higher and lower level of theory. Consequently, once developed these models can be used to translate spectral shapes obtained from lower levels of theory to mimic those corresponding to higher levels of theory. Ultimately, this achieves accurate simulations with a much reduced computational burden as only the lower level of theory is computed, while the model can instantaneously transform this to a spectrum equivalent to a higher level of theory. Our present model, demonstrated herein, learns the difference between TDDFT(BLYP) and TDDFT(B3LYP) spectra.
