Decelerated lattice excitation and absence of bulk phonon modes at surfaces: Ultra-fast electron diffraction from Bi(111) surface upon fs-laser excitation
Ultrafast reflection high-energy electron diffraction is employed to follow the lattice excitation of a Bi(111) surface upon irradiation with a femtosecond laser pulse. The thermal motion of the atoms is analyzed through the Debye–Waller effect. While the Bi bulk is heated on time scales of 2 to 4 ps, we observe that the excitation of vibrational motion of the surface atoms occurs much slower with a time constant of 12 ps. This transient nonequilibrium situation is attributed to the weak coupling between bulk and surface phonon modes which hampers the energy flow between the two subsystems. From the absence of a fast component in the transient diffraction intensity, it is in addition concluded that truncated bulk phonon modes are absent at the surface.

期刊介绍:
Structural Dynamics focuses on the recent developments in experimental and theoretical methods and techniques that allow a visualization of the electronic and geometric structural changes in real time of chemical, biological, and condensed-matter systems. The community of scientists and engineers working on structural dynamics in such diverse systems often use similar instrumentation and methods.
The journal welcomes articles dealing with fundamental problems of electronic and structural dynamics that are tackled by new methods, such as:
Time-resolved X-ray and electron diffraction and scattering,
Coherent diffractive imaging,
Time-resolved X-ray spectroscopies (absorption, emission, resonant inelastic scattering, etc.),
Time-resolved electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and electron microscopy,
Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopies (UPS, XPS, ARPES, etc.),
Multidimensional spectroscopies in the infrared, the visible and the ultraviolet,
Nonlinear spectroscopies in the VUV, the soft and the hard X-ray domains,
Theory and computational methods and algorithms for the analysis and description of structuraldynamics and their associated experimental signals.
These new methods are enabled by new instrumentation, such as:
X-ray free electron lasers, which provide flux, coherence, and time resolution,
New sources of ultrashort electron pulses,
New sources of ultrashort vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) to hard X-ray pulses, such as high-harmonic generation (HHG) sources or plasma-based sources,
New sources of ultrashort infrared and terahertz (THz) radiation,
New detectors for X-rays and electrons,
New sample handling and delivery schemes,
New computational capabilities.
