K. Sokolowski-tinten et al., Transient lattice dynamics in fs-laser-excited semiconductors probed by ultrafast X-ray diffraction, J PHYS IV, 11(PR2), 2001, pp. 473-477
Using time-resolved x-ray diffraction ultafast lattice dynamics in fs-laser
-excited crystalline bulk Ge and Ge/Si-heterostructures has been studied. T
his experimental technique uniquely allows us to observe fast energy transp
ort deep into. the bulk of the material, coherent acoustic phonon dynamics,
lattice anharmonicity, and vibrational transport across a buried interface
