Abstract
Coherent acoustic phonons have been observed in the X-ray diffraction of a laser-excited InSb crystal. Modeling based on time-dependent dynamical diff raction theory has allowed the extraction of fundamental constants, such as the electron-acoustic phonon coupling time. A dedicated beamline for time- resolved studies has been developed at the Advanced Light Source with speci al considerations toward high transmission, low scattering and a wide photo n energy range. The facility combines a bend magnet beamline, time-resolved detectors and a femtosecond laser system. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. A ll rights reserved.
