Abstract
We study monolayer WSe2 using ultrafast electron diffraction. We introduce an approach to quantitatively extract atomic-site-specific information, providing an element-specific view of incoherent atomic vibrations following femtosecond excitation. Via differences between W and Se vibrations, we identify stages in the nonthermal evolution of the phonon population. Combined with a calculated phonon dispersion, this element specificity enables us to identify a long-lasting overpopulation of specific optical phonons and to interpret the stages as energy transfer processes between specific phonon groups. These results demonstrate the appeal of resolving element-specific vibrational information in the ultrafast time domain.
我们利用超快电子衍射研究了单层 WSe2。我们引入了一种定量提取原子位点特异性信息的方法,提供了飞秒激发后非相干原子振动的元素特异性视图。通过 W 和 Se 振动之间的差异,我们确定了声子群非热演化的各个阶段。结合计算得出的声子色散,这种元素特异性使我们能够确定特定光学声子的长期过剩,并将这些阶段解释为特定声子群之间的能量转移过程。这些结果证明了在超快时域解析特定元素振动信息的吸引力。
