Abstract
Coherent extreme ultraviolet beams from tabletop high harmonic generation offer several revolutionary capabilities for observing nanoscale systems on their intrinsic length and time scales. By launching and monitoring hypersonic acoustic waves in such systems, we characterize the mechanical properties of sub-10nm layers and find that the material densities remain close to their bulk values while their elastic properties are significantly modified. Moreover, within the same measurement, by following the heat dissipation dynamics from 30-750nm-wide nanowires, we uncover a new thermal transport regime in which closely-spaced nanoscale heat sources can surprisingly cool more efficiently than widelyspaced heat sources of the same size.
