A shock wave is driven by ablation when materials are irradiated with a femtosecond laser pulse. It has been confirmed that the femtosecond laser-driven shock wave induces the formation of unique microstructures such as dense lattice defects, high-pressure phases, and metastable phases in the material, which cannot be obtained by conventional shock compression methods. In order to understand this mechanism, we performed in-situ measurements on copper using an X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) to clarify the lattice behavior during the initial stage of femtosecond laser-driven shock compression.
