Photothermal behaviour of titanium nitride nanoparticles evaluated by transient X-ray diffraction

Abstract
Metal nitrides are a promising non-toxic, inexpensive, and durable material for photothermal applications. The photothermal properties of titanium nitride are measured using time-resolved X-ray diffraction following optical excitation.
