    Publisher Correction: Coherent diffractive imaging of single helium nanodroplets with a high harmonic generation source (Nature communications (2017) 8 1 (493))
    ([London] : Nature Publishing Group UK, 2018) Rupp, Daniela; Monserud, Nils; Langbehn, Bruno; Sauppe, Mario; Zimmermann, Julian; Ovcharenko, Yevheniy; Möller, Thomas; Frassetto, Fabio; Poletto, Luca; Trabattoni, Andrea; Calegari, Francesca; Nisoli, Mauro; Sander, Katharina; Peltz, Christian; Vrakking, Marc J.; Fennel, Thomas; Rouzée, Arnaud
    In the original version of this Article, the affiliation for Luca Poletto was incorrectly given as 'European XFEL GmbH, Holzkoppel 4, 22869 Schenefeld, Hamburg, Germany', instead of the correct 'CNR, Istituto di Fotonica e Nanotecnologie Padova, Via Trasea 7, 35131 Padova, Italy'. This has now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.

    Coherent diffractive imaging of single helium nanodroplets with a high harmonic generation source

    Coherent diffractive imaging of individual free nanoparticles has opened routes for the in situ analysis of their transient structural, optical, and electronic properties. So far, single-shot single-particle diffraction was assumed to be feasible only at extreme ultraviolet and X-ray free-electron lasers, restricting this research field to large-scale facilities. Here we demonstrate single-shot imaging of isolated helium nanodroplets using extreme ultraviolet pulses from a femtosecond-laser-driven high harmonic source. We obtain bright wide-Angle scattering patterns, that allow us to uniquely identify hitherto unresolved prolate shapes of superfluid helium droplets. Our results mark the advent of single-shot gas-phase nanoscopy with lab-based short-wavelength pulses and pave the way to ultrafast coherent diffractive imaging with phase-controlled multicolor fields and attosecond pulses.

    Three-Dimensional Shapes of Spinning Helium Nanodroplets
    (College Park, Md. : APS, 2018) Langbehn, Bruno; Sander, Katharina; Ovcharenko, Yevheniy; Peltz, Christian; Clark, Andrew; Coreno, Marcello; Cucini, Riccardo; Drabbels, Marcel; Finetti, Paola; Di Fraia, Michele; Giannessi, Luca; Grazioli, Cesare; Iablonskyi, Denys; LaForge, Aaron C.; Nishiyama, Toshiyuki; Oliver Álvarez de Lara, Verónica; Piseri, Paolo; Plekan, Oksana; Ueda, Kiyoshi; Zimmermann, Julian; Prince, Kevin C.; Stienkemeier, Frank; Callegari, Carlo; Fennel, Thomas; Rupp, Daniela; Möller, Thomas
    A significant fraction of superfluid helium nanodroplets produced in a free-jet expansion has been observed to gain high angular momentum resulting in large centrifugal deformation. We measured single-shot diffraction patterns of individual rotating helium nanodroplets up to large scattering angles using intense extreme ultraviolet light pulses from the FERMI free-electron laser. Distinct asymmetric features in the wide-angle diffraction patterns enable the unique and systematic identification of the three-dimensional droplet shapes. The analysis of a large data set allows us to follow the evolution from axisymmetric oblate to triaxial prolate and two-lobed droplets. We find that the shapes of spinning superfluid helium droplets exhibit the same stages as classical rotating droplets while the previously reported metastable, oblate shapes of quantum droplets are not observed. Our three-dimensional analysis represents a valuable landmark for clarifying the interrelation between morphology and superfluidity on the nanometer scale.
