Ultrafast measurements of mode-specific deformation potentials of BiTe and BiSe

Yijing Huang, José D. Querales-Flores, Samuel W. Teitelbaum +24

Quantifying electron-phonon interactions for the surface states of topological materials can provide key insights into surface-state transport, topological superconductivity, and p…

Influence of local symmetry on lattice dynamics coupled to topological surface states

Jonathan A. Sobota, Samuel W. Teitelbaum, Yijing Huang +18

We investigate coupled electron-lattice dynamics in the topological insulator Bi2Te3 with time-resolved photoemission and time-resolved x-ray diffraction. It is well established th…

Photo-induced plasmon-phonon coupling in PbTe

M. P. Jiang, M. Trigo, S. Fahy +19

We report the observation of photo-induced plasmon-phonon coupled modes in the group IV-VI semiconductor PbTe using Fourier-transform inelastic X-ray scattering at the Linac Cohere…

Formation of buried domain walls in the ultrafast transition of SmTe

M. Trigo, P. Giraldo-Gallo, J. N. Clark +13

We study ultrafast x-ray diffraction on the charge density wave (CDW) of SmTe using an x-ray free electron laser. The CDW peaks show that photoexcitation with near-infrared pum…

Measurements of Nonequilibrium Interatomic Forces in Photoexcited Bismuth

Samuel W. Teitelbaum, Thomas C. Henighan, Hanzhe Liu +11

We determine experimentally the excited-state interatomic forces in photoexcited bismuth. The forces are obtained by a constrained least-squares fit of the excited-state dispersion…

Coherent order parameter dynamics in SmTe

M. Trigo, P. Giraldo-Gallo, M. E. Kozina +13

We present a combined ultrafast optical pump-probe and ultrafast x-ray diffraction measurement of the CDW dynamics in SmTe at 300 K. The ultrafast x-ray diffraction measurement…

Direct Measurement of Anharmonic Decay Channels of a Coherent Phonon

Samuel W. Teitelbaum, Tom Henighan, Yijing Huang +12

We observe anharmonic decay of the photoexcited coherent A1g phonon in bismuth to points in the Brillouin zone where conservation of momentum and energy are satisfied for three-pho…

Photoinduced suppression of the ferroelectric instability in PbTe

M. P. Jiang, M. Trigo, S. Fahy +18

The interactions between electrons and phonons drive a large array of technologically relevant material properties including ferroelectricity, thermoelectricity, and phase-change b…

How to distinguish squeezed and coherent phonons in femtosecond x-ray diffuse scattering

T. Henighan, M. Trigo, M. Chollet +9

Impulsive optical excitation can generate both coherent and squeezed phonons. The expectation value of the phonon displacement oscillates at the mode frequency for the cohe…

Generation of high-frequency strain waves during femtosecond demagnetization of Fe/MgO films

T. Henighan, M. Trigo, S. Bonetti +22

We use femtosecond time-resolved hard x-ray scattering to detect coherent acoustic phonons excited during ultrafast laser demagnetization of bcc Fe films. We determine the lattice…

Nonlinear X-ray Compton Scattering

Matthias Fuchs, Mariano Trigo, Jian Chen +22

X-ray scattering is a weak linear probe of matter. It is primarily sensitive to the position of electrons and their momentum distribution. Elastic X-ray scattering forms the basis…
