Coherent Phonons in Antimony: an Undergraduate Physical Chemistry Solid-State Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy Experiment

Ilana J Porter, Michael W. Zuerch, Anne M. Baranger +1

Ultrafast laser pump-probe spectroscopy is an important and growing field of physical chemistry that allows the measurement of chemical dynamics on their natural timescales, but un…

Characterization of Carrier Cooling Bottleneck in Silicon Nanoparticles by Extreme Ultraviolet (XUV) Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

Ilana J. Porter, Angela Lee, Scott K. Cushing +4

Silicon nanoparticles have the promise to surpass the theoretical efficiency limit of single-junction silicon photovoltaics by the creation of a "phonon bottleneck", a theorized sl…

Differentiating Photoexcited Carrier and Phonon Dynamics in the Δ, L, and Γ Valleys of Si(100) with Transient Extreme Ultraviolet Spectroscopy

Scott K. Cushing, Angela Lee, Ilana J. Porter +4

Transient extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectroscopy probes core level transitions to unoccupied valence and conduction band states. Uncertainty remains to what degree the core-hole cr…

Photoexcited Small Polaron Formation in Goethite (α-FeOOH) Nanorods Probed by Transient Extreme Ultraviolet Spectroscopy

Ilana J. Porter, Scott K. Cushing, Lucas M. Carneiro +6

Small polaron formation limits the mobility and lifetimes of photoexcited carriers in metal oxides. As the ligand field strength increases, the carrier mobility decreases, but the…

Real-time observation of a coherent lattice transformation into a high-symmetry phase

Samuel W. Teitelbaum, Taeho Shin, Johanna W. Wolfson +4

Excursions far from their equilibrium structures can bring crystalline solids through collective transformations including transitions into new phases that may be transient or long…
