Phonon-pump extreme-ultraviolet-photoemission probe in graphene: anomalous heating of Dirac carriers by lattice deformation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We modulate the atomic structure of bilayer graphene by driving its lattice at resonance with the in-plane E_{1u} lattice vibration at 6.3 μm. Using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (tr-ARPES) with extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) pulses, we measure the response of the Dirac electrons near the K point. We observe that lattice modulation causes anomalous carrier dynamics, with the Dirac electrons reaching lower peak temperatures and relaxing at faster rate compared to when the excitation is applied away from the phonon resonance or in monolayer samples. Frozen phonon calculations predict dramatic band structure changes when the E_{1u} vibration is driven, which we use to explain the anomalous dynamics observed in the experiment.

Synthetic electric fields and phonon damping in carbon nanotubes and graphene
Within the Dirac theory of the electronic properties of graphene, smoothly varying lattice strain affects the Dirac carriers through a synthetic gauge field. For static lattice strain, the gauge field induces a synthetic magnetic field which is known to suppress weak localization corrections by a dynamical breaking of timereversal symmetry. When the lattice strain is time dependent, as in conne...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium Dirac carrier dynamics in graphene investigated with time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
We have used time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (tr-ARPES) to assess the influence of many-body interactions on the Dirac carrier dynamics in graphene. From the energy-dependence of the measured scattering rates we directly determine the imaginary part of the self-energy, visualizing the existence of a relaxation bottleneck associated with electron-phonon coupling. A comparison...
متن کاملVery slow cooling dynamics of photoexcited carriers in graphene observed by optical-pump terahertz-probe spectroscopy.
Using optical-pump terahertz-probe spectroscopy, we study the relaxation dynamics of photoexcited carriers in graphene at different substrate temperatures. We find that at lower temperatures the tail of the relaxation transients measured by the differential probe transmission become slower, extending beyond several hundred picoseconds below 50 K. We interpret the observed relaxation transients ...
متن کاملElectric field effect tuning of electron-phonon coupling in graphene.
Gate-modulated low-temperature Raman spectra reveal that the electric field effect (EFE), pervasive in contemporary electronics, has marked impacts on long-wavelength optical phonons of graphene. The EFE in this two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms creates large density modulations of carriers with linear dispersion (known as Dirac fermions). Our EFE Raman spectra display the inter...
متن کاملTracking Primary Thermalization Events in Graphene with Photoemission at Extreme Time Scales.
Direct and inverse Auger scattering are amongst the primary processes that mediate the thermalization of hot carriers in semiconductors. These two processes involve the annihilation or generation of an electron-hole pair by exchanging energy with a third carrier, which is either accelerated or decelerated. Inverse Auger scattering is generally suppressed, as the decelerated carriers must have e...
