    Abstract
    
    New results for fs-laser excited semiconductor crystals probed by ultrashort x-ray pulses excited 
    by a laser produced x-ray plasma-source will be presented.Contribution of fast electronic response, 
    such as electronic pressure and electron diffusion as well as relaxation of the excited semiconductor, 
    such as Ge and InSb will be discuss and compared to simulations. Further the temporal evolution of 
    the laser induced metal-semiconductor phase transition, probed by optical reflectometry and x-ray 
    diffraction of the rare earth compound samarium sulphide will be presented and discussed.
