Time-resolved x-ray diffraction study of ultrafast acoustic phonon dynamics in Ge/Si-heterostructures
SPRINGER SERIES CHEM 66 (2001) 281-283
Abstract:
Using time-resolved x-ray diffraction the ultafast strain dynamics in fs-laserexcited Ge/Si-heterostructures has been studied. A fluence dependent, anharmonic damping of the impulsively generated acoustic phonons and vibrational transport across the buried Ge/Si-interface are observed.Ultrafast x-ray measurement of laser heating in semiconductors:: Parameters determining the melting threshold -: art. no. 193306

Femtosecond laser ablation of graphite
Conference on Quantum Electronics and Laser Science (QELS) - Technical Digest Series (2000) 189
Abstract:
Recently it has been shown that near-threshold ablation of absorbing solids with femto- and picosecond pulses, exhibits a material-independent behavior, which is characterized by a distinct transient interference phenomenon in the nanosecond time range. This presents a combined experimental and theoretical study of ultrashort laser pulse ablation of graphite, emphasizing how the observed universal ablation behavior is influenced by the specific properties of the irradiated material.Ultrafast x-ray diffraction
Conference on Quantum Electronics and Laser Science (QELS) - Technical Digest Series (2000) 188
Abstract:
Many fundamental processes in physics, such as heat transport and phase transitions in solids involve movement of the constituent atoms. Such changes cannot be directly measured with visible light and occur transiently on time-scales comparable with the natural oscillation periods of atoms (femtoseconds to picoseconds). This paper presents experiments on crystalline semiconductors irradiated with short visible pulses in two fluence regimes.Anharmonic lattice dynamics in germanium measured with ultrafast x-ray diffraction.
