Coherent THz Phonons Driven by Light Pulses and the Sb Problem: What is the Mechanism?

Garrett, G. A., Albrecht, T. F., Whitaker, J. F., Merlin, R.·1996·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

Femtosecond laser pulses generate in Sb coherent ${E}_{g}$ phonons at $\ensuremath{\approx}3.4\mathrm{THz}$, in addition to oscillations of ${A}_{1g}$ symmetry accounted for by the phenomenological displacive-excitation model. Experiments agree with theoretical calculations showing that the coherent driving force in absorbing materials like Sb is determined by Raman processes, as in transparent media. The Raman formalism provides a unifying approach for describing light-induced motion of atoms of both impulsive and displacive character.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
