Visualizing the dynamical response of material heterointerfaces is increasingly important for the design of hybrid materials and structures with tailored properties for use in functional devices. In situ characterization of nanoscale heterointerfaces such as metal-semiconductor interfaces, which exhibit a complex interplay between lattice strain, electric potential, and heat transport at subnanosecond time scales, is particularly challenging. Here in this work, we use a laser pump/X-ray probe form of Bragg coherent diffraction imaging (BCDI) to visualize in three-dimension the deformation of the core of a model core/shell semiconductor-metal (ZnO/Ni) nanorod following laser heating of the shell. We observe a rich interplay of radial, axial, and shear deformation modes acting at different time scales that are induced by the strain from the Ni shell. We construct experimentally informed models by directly importing the reconstructed crystal from the ultrafast experiment into a thermo-electromechanical continuum model. The model elucidates the origin of the deformation modes observed experimentally. Our integrated imaging approach represents an invaluable tool to probe strain dynamics across mixed interfaces under operando conditions.
