Ultrafast carrier dynamics in polycrystalline bismuth telluride nanofilm

Journal Article Jia, Lin ; Ma, Weigang ; Zhang, Xing - Applied Physics Letters

In this study, the dynamics of energy carriers in polycrystalline bismuth telluride nanofilm are investigated by the ultrafast pump-probe method. The energy relaxation processes are quantitatively analyzed by using the numerical fitting models. The extracted hot carrier relaxation times of photon excitation, thermalization, and diffusion are around sub-picosecond. The initial reflectivity recovery is found to be dominantly determined by the carrier diffusion, electron-phonon coupling, and photo-generated carriers trapping processes. High-frequency and low-frequency oscillations are both observed and attributed to coherent optical phonons and coherent acoustic phonons, respectively.

Ultrafast studies of electron dynamics at metal-dielectric interfaces

Thesis/Dissertation Ge, Nien-Hui

Femtosecond time- and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopy has been used to study fundamental aspects of excited electron dynamics at metal-dielectric interfaces, including layer-by-layer evolution of electronic structure and two-dimensional electron localization. On bare Ag(111), the lifetimes of image states are dominated by their position with respect to the projected bulk band structure. The n = 2 state has a shorter lifetime than the n = 1 state due to degeneracy with the bulk conduction band. As the parallel momentum of the n = 1 image electron increases, the lifetime decreases. With decreasing temperatures, the n = 1 image electrons, withmore »« less

Tracing ultrafast dynamics of strong fields at plasma-vacuum interfaces with longitudinal proton probing

Journal Article Abicht, F. ; Braenzel, J. ; Koschitzki, Ch. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

If regions of localized strong fields at plasma-vacuum interfaces are probed longitudinally with laser accelerated proton beams their velocity distribution changes sensitively and very fast. Its measured variations provide indirectly a higher temporal resolution as deduced from deflection geometries which rely on the explicit temporal resolution of the proton beam at the position of the object to probe. With help of reasonable models and comparative measurements changes of proton velocity can trace the field dynamics even at femtosecond time scale. In longitudinal probing, the very low longitudinal emittance together with a broad band kinetic energy distribution of laser accelerated protonsmore »« less

Ultrafast strong-field dissociative ionization dynamics of CH{sub 2}Br{sub 2} probed by femtosecond soft x-ray transient absorption spectroscopy

Journal Article Zhiheng, Loh ; Leone, Stephen R - Journal of Chemical Physics

Femtosecond time-resolved soft x-ray transient absorption spectroscopy based on a high-order harmonic generation source is used to investigate the dissociative ionization of CH{sub 2}Br{sub 2} induced by 800 nm strong-field irradiation. At moderate laser peak intensities (2.0x10{sup 14} W/cm{sup 2}), strong-field ionization is accompanied by ultrafast C-Br bond dissociation, producing both neutral Br ({sup 2}P{sub 3/2}) and Br* ({sup 2}P{sub 1/2}) atoms together with the CH{sub 2}Br{sup +} fragment ion. The measured rise times for Br and Br* are 130{+-}22 fs and 74{+-}10 fs, respectively. The atomic bromine quantum state distribution shows that the Br/Br* population ratio is 8.1{+-}3.8 andmore »« less
