22. Estimation of the sample temperature considers the scattering geometry for derivation of the effective surface laser fluence and penetration depth (the latter is 105 nm as deduced from Ref.), a surface reflectivity of 6% derived for p-polarized light at 800 nm, the temperature dependent heat capacity of magnetite from Ref., and averages the temperature over a volume given by the x-ray penetration depth of 46 nm.
