Various forms of atomic motion, such as thermal vibrations, thermal expansion and lattice disordering, manifest as distinct and quantifiable reciprocal-space observables. In photo-excited, supported nanoclusters thermal equilibration proceeds through intrinsic heat flow, between their electrons and their lattice, and extrinsic heat flow between the nanoclusters and their substrate.
