 Abstract: We show that core-level x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy with attosecond soft x-ray (SXR) pulses [1] can image the flow of energy inside a material in real time [2]. We photoexcite graphite with a 11 ± 1 fs pump pulse at 1850 nm or with a 15 ± 1 fs pulse at 800 nm for various pump fluences between 2.8 ± 0.2 mJ/cm2 and 81 ± 5 mJ/cm2. Figure 1(a) shows the measured differential x-ray absorption ΔA(E) (pumped minus unpumped) from which striking changes of up to 15% are immediately apparent. We identify these features as π bonding state and as π* and σ* antibonding states. Attosecond-resolved measurement with a pump-probe delay step size of 0.6 fs show the buildup of coherent charge oscillations i.e. polarization of the material. These oscillations occur at occupied states below and unoccupied states above the Fermi level predominantly at the pump carrier frequency. We identify the incoherent background due to the dephasing of coherent charge oscillation. This background rises within a few oscillations of the light field signifying the ultrafast transfer of energy from the light field into the electron and hole excitation of the material. We find that ultrafast dephasing of the coherent carrier dynamics is governed by impact excitation (IE) for electrons while holes exhibit a switchover from impact excitation to Auger heating (AH) already during the 11-fs duration of the infrared light field. We further analyze the coherent phonon signal by analyzing the oscillatory pattern exhibited by the σ* data with a short-time Fourier transform (STFT) analysis This analysis shows that already during and shortly after the laser excitation coherent motion emerges over a broad range of frequencies.
