    We demonstrate the nement of acoustic waves in a microscopic phononic crystal slab consisting of a honeycomb array of holes in silicon. The acoustic field is measured on the sample surface at frequencies up to 1GHz by means of an ultrafast optical technique. Using temporal Fourier transforms, the confinement is shown to depend on frequency, and a phononic band gap is identified. Finite element simulations are performed and used to analyze the results.

    By irradiating a medium with picosecond light pulses one can generate GHz surface acoustic waves. Their propagation can be monitored in the time domain with delayed probe light pulses. In addition, by spatially scanning the probe light focusing position, it is possible to monitor the spatiotemporal variation of the acoustic field. This can be used to study acoustic properties such as the dispersion relation of the surface acoustic waves in a medium. For such measurements, a periodic source of light pulses with a repetition rate of around 80 MHz is usually used, and so the frequency of the generated acoustic waves is limited to integer multiples of the repetition rate. We recently developed a technique to generate and detect arbitrary acoustic frequency components through the intensity modulation of the excitation, i.e. pump, light pulse train. In this paper, this arbitrary-frequency imaging technique is applied to study the acoustic properties of two- dimensional phononic crystals. The sample contains a square array of micron-scale holes on a Si substrate, and exhibits a phononic band gap around 0.5 GHz. We will present experimental results concerning acoustic wave propagation at frequencies around the phononic band gap.

    We extend time-domain imaging in acoustic metamaterials to gigahertz frequencies. Using a sample consisting of a regular array of ∼1 μm diameter silica microspheres forming a two-dimensional triangular lattice on a substrate, we implement an ultrafast technique to probe surface acoustic wave propagation inside the metamaterial area and incident on the metamaterial from a region containing no microspheres, which reveals the acoustic metamaterial dispersion, the presence of band gaps and the acoustic transmission properties of the interface. A theoretical model of this locally resonant metamaterial based on normal and shear-rotational resonances of the spheres fits the data well. Using this model, we show analytically how the sphere elastic coupling parameters influence the gap widths.

    Absorption of ultrashort laser pulses in a metallic grating deposited on a transparent sample launches coherent compression/dilatation acoustic pulses in directions of different orders of acoustic diffraction. Their propagation is detected by delayed laser pulses, which are also diffracted by the metallic grating, through the measurement of the transient intensity change of the first-order diffracted light. The obtained data contain multiple frequency components, which are interpreted by considering all possible angles for the Brillouin scattering of light achieved through multiplexing of the propagation directions of light and coherent sound by the metallic grating. The emitted acoustic field can be equivalently presented as a superposition of plane inhomogeneous acoustic waves, which constitute an acoustic diffraction grating for the probe light. Thus the obtained results can also be interpreted as a consequence of probe light diffraction by both metallic and acoustic gratings. The realized scheme of time-domain Brillouin scattering with metallic gratings operating in reflection mode provides access to wide range of acoustic frequencies from minimal to maximal possible values in a single experimental optical configuration for the directions of probe light incidence and scattered light detection. This is achieved by monitoring the backward and forward Brillouin scattering processes in parallel. Potential applications include measurements of the acoustic dispersion, simultaneous determination of sound velocity and optical refractive index, and evaluation of samples with a single direction of possible optical access.

    We selectively generate chiral surface-acoustic whispering-gallery modes in the gigahertz range on a microscopic disk by means of an ultrafast time-domain technique incorporating a spatial light modulator. Active chiral control is achieved by making use of an optical pump spatial profile in the form of a semicircular arc, positioned on the sample to break the symmetry of clockwise-and counterclockwise-propagating modes. Spatiotemporal Fourier transforms of the interferometrically monitored two-dimensional acoustic fields measured to micron resolution allow individual chiral modes and their azimuthal mode order, both positive and negative, to be distinguished. In particular, for modes with 15-fold rotational symmetry, we demonstrate ultrafast chiral control of surface acoustic waves in a micro-acoustic system with picosecond temporal resolution. Applications include nondestructive testing and surface acoustic wave devices. Published by AIP Publishing.

    Using polarization-resolved transient reflection spectroscopy, we investigate a metasurface consisting of coherently vibrating nanophotonic U-shaped split-ring meta-atoms that exhibit colocalized optical and mechanical resonances. With an array of these resonators formed of gold on glass, essentially miniature tuning forks, we monitor the visible-pump induced gigahertz oscillations in reflected infrared light intensity to probe the multimodal vibrational response. Numerical simulations of the associated transient deformations and strain fields elucidate the complex nanomechanical dynamics contributing to the ultrafast optical modulation and point to the role of acousto-plasmonic interactions through the opening and closing motion of the SRR gaps as the dominant effect. Applications include ultrafast acoustooptic modulator design and sensing.

    The ultrafast modulation of light transmitted by a metamaterial making up an extraordinary optical transmission geometry is investigated by means of optical pump-probe spectroscopy. Using a sample consisting of a lattice of square nano-holes in a gold film on a glass substrate, we monitor the high-frequency oscillations in the intensity of transmitted infrared light. A variety of gigahertz acoustic modes, involving the opening and shutting motion of the holes as well as the straining of the glass substrate below the holes, are revealed to be active in the optical modulation. Numerical simulations of the transient deformations and strain fields elucidate the nature of the vibrational modes contributing most strongly to the variations in optical transmission, and point to the hole-area modulation as the dominant effect. Potential applications include ultrafast acousto-optic modulators. Published by AIP Publishing.

    A theoretical formalism describing the heterodyne detection of plane inhomogeneous shear acoustic waves by probe laser-induced gratings is developed. An inhomogeneous plane shear acoustic wave is a purely shear wave with a plane phase front and mechanical displacement vector, which is sinusoidally spatially modulated in magnitude. It could be generated by laser-induced gratings and could be useful for the acoustic testing of sub-micrometer thick membranes and coatings in the gigahertz frequency range. The theory reveals the potential advantages and disadvantages of this wave application in non-destructive testing of materials and fundamental research from the point of view of the feasibility of their experimental detection.

    By means of an ultrafast optical technique, we track focused gigahertz coherent phonon pulses in objects down to sub-micron in size. Infrared light pulses illuminating the surface of a single metal-coated silica fibre generate longitudinal-phonon wave packets. Reflection of visible probe light pulses from the fibre surface allows the vibrational modes of the fibre to be detected, and Brillouin optical scattering of partially transmitted light pulses allows the acoustic wavefronts inside the transparent fibre to be continuously monitored. We thereby probe acoustic focusing in the time domain resulting from generation at the curved fibre surface. An analytical model, supported by three-dimensional simulations, suggests that we have followed the focusing of the acoustic beam down to a similar to 150-nm diameter waist inside the fibre. This work significantly narrows the lateral resolution for focusing of picosecond acoustic pulses, normally limited by the diffraction limit of focused optical pulses to similar to 1 mu m, and thereby opens up a new range of possibilities including nanoscale acoustic microscopy and nanoscale computed tomography.

    Extraordinary transmission of waves, i.e. a transmission superior to the amount predicted by geometrical considerations of the aperture alone, has to date only been studied in the bulk. Here we present a new class of extraordinary transmission for waves confined in two dimensions to a flat surface. By means of acoustic numerical simulations in the gigahertz range, corresponding to acoustic wavelengths lambda similar to 3-50 mu m, we track the transmission of plane surface acoustic wave fronts between two silicon blocks joined by a deeply subwavelength bridge of variable length with or without an attached cavity. Several resonant modes of the structure, both one-and two-dimensional in nature, lead to extraordinary acoustic transmission, in this case with transmission efficiencies, i.e. intensity enhancements, up to similar to 23 and similar to 8 in the two respective cases. We show how the cavity shape and bridge size influence the extraordinary transmission efficiency. Applications include new metamaterials and subwavelength imaging.

    Neural network recognition of features of the fluorescence spectrum of a thermosensitive probe is exploited in order to achieve fluorescence-based thermometry with an accuracy of 200mK with 100MHz bandwidth, and with high robustness against fluctuations of the probe laser intensity used. The concept is implemented on a rhodamine B dyed mixture of copper chloride and glycerol, and the temperature dependent fluorescence is investigated in the temperature range between 234K and 311 K. The spatial dependence of the calibrated amplitude and phase of photothermally induced temperature oscillations along the axis of the excitation laser are determined at different modulation frequencies. The spatial and frequency dependence of the extracted temperature signals is well fitted by a 1D multi-layer thermal diffusion model. In a time domain implementation of the approach, the gradual temperature rise due to the accumulation of the DC component of the heat flux supplied by repetitive laser pulses as well the immediate transient temperature evolution after each single pulse is extracted from acquired temporal sequences of fluorescence spectra induced by a CW green laser. A stroboscopic implementation of fluorescence thermometry, using a pulsed fluorescence evoking probe laser, is shown to achieve remote detection of temperature changes with a time resolution of 10 ns.

    In this paper, we review results obtained by ultrafast imaging of gigahertz surface acoustic waves in surface phononic crystals with one- and two-dimensional periodicities. By use of quasi-point-source optical excitation, we show how, from a series of images that form a movie of the travelling waves, the dispersion relation of the acoustic modes, their corresponding mode patterns and the position and widths of phonon stop bands can be obtained by temporal and spatio-temporal Fourier analysis. We further demonstrate how one can follow the temporal evolution of phononic eigenstates in k-space using data from phononic-crystal waveguides as an example.

    We describe a way to generate and detect arbitrary frequency components in time-resolved surface acoustic wave imaging based on optical pumping and probing with a periodic light source. The detailed theory of the technique, based on beam modulation and Fourier analysis, for a variety of possible experimental configurations is presented, followed by experimental data for a glass substrate covered with a thin gold film. We show how the acoustic dispersion relation can be obtained to arbitrary frequency resolution, not limited by the laser pulse repetition rate.

    We use picosecond ultrasonics to image animal cells in vitro-a bovine aortic endothelial cell and a mouse adipose cell-fixed to Ti-coated sapphire. Tightly focused ultrashort laser pulses generate and detect GHz acoustic pulses, allowing three-dimensional imaging (x, y, and t) of the ultrasonic propagation in the cells with similar to 1 mu m lateral and similar to 150 nm depth resolutions. Time-frequency representations of the continuous-wavelet-transform amplitude of the optical reflectivity variations inside and outside the cells show GHz Brillouin oscillations, allowing the average sound velocities of the cells and their ultrasonic attenuation to be obtained as well as the average bulk moduli.

    A stroboscopic full-field imaging technique based on photorefractive interferometry for the visualization of rapidly changing surface displacement fields by using of a standard charge-coupled device (CCD) camera is presented. The photorefractive buildup of the space charge field during and after probe laser pulses is simulated numerically. The resulting anisotropic diffraction upon the refractive index grating and the interference between the polarization-rotated diffracted reference beam and the transmitted signal beam are modeled theoretically. The method is experimentally demonstrated by full-field imaging of the propagation of photoacoustically generated surface acoustic waves with a temporal resolution of nanoseconds. The surface acoustic wave propagation in a 23 mm x 17 mm area on an aluminum plate was visualized with 520 x 696 pixels of the CCD sensor, yielding a spatial resolution of 33 mu m. The short pulse duration (8 ns) of the probe laser yields the capability of imaging SAWs with frequencies up to 60 MHz. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

    Using an ultrafast optical technique with enhanced frequency control, we image surface-acoustic whispering-gallery-like modes in a microscopic disk at various frequencies up to 1 gigahertz (GHz), allowing experimental determination of their dispersion. This is made possible by intensity-modulated optical pumping and probing with a periodic femtosecond light source. Spatiotemporal Fourier transforms of the two-dimensional acoustic fields measured to micron resolution allow us to isolate individual whispering-gallery modes of first and second radial order as well as their mode patterns and Q factors to unprecedented frequency resolution. We thereby demonstrate arbitrary-frequency ultrafast control and imaging of a micro-acoustic system with an optical time-resolved technique. Applications include quality control of surface acoustic wave filters in telecommunications. (C) 2015 Optical Society of America

    The aim of this article is to provide an introduction to picosecond laser ultrasonics, a means by which gigahertz-terahertz ultrasonic waves can be generated and detected by ultrashort light pulses. This method can be used to characterize materials with nanometer spatial resolution. With reference to key experiments, we first review the theoretical background for normal-incidence optical detection of longitudinal acoustic waves in opaque single-layer isotropic thin films. The theory is extended to handle isotropic multilayer samples, and is again compared to experiment. We then review applications to anisotropic samples, including oblique-incidence optical probing, and treat the generation and detection of shear waves. Solids including metals and semiconductors are mainly discussed, although liquids are briefly mentioned. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    We investigate surface phonon propagation in a triangular-lattice phononic crystal of microscopic holes in a gold-coated polymer by time-resolved two-dimensional imaging and by finite-element simulations at sub-gigahertz frequencies. The simulations allow the effects of exciting different points in the crystal lattice to be studied in real space, and also in k-space by spatiotemporal Fourier analysis. The acoustic field in a sub-surface plane below the reach of the holes is also revealed in real-and k-spaces. In addition, we demonstrate pitfalls in the analysis of k-space data when searching for the presence of band gaps. Applications include surface-acoustic wave filter quality control.

    Mechanical contacts are crucial to systems in engineering, electronics and biology. The microscopic nature of the contacting surfaces determines how they mesh on the nanoscale. There is thus much interest in methods that can map the actual area of two surfaces in contact-the real contact area during the loading or unloading phases. We address this problem using an ultrafast optical technique to generate non-equilibrium electrons that diffuse across a nanoscale mechanical contact between two thin gold films deposited on sapphire. We image this process in the contact and near-contact regions to micron resolution in situ using transient optical reflectivity changes on femtosecond time scales. By use of a model of the ultrashort-time electron dynamics, we account for an up to similar to 40%dropin the transient optical reflectivity change on contact. We thereby show how the real contact area of a nanoscale contact can be mapped. Applications include the probing of microelectronic mechanical devices.

    We describe an extension of the time-resolved two-dimensional gigahertz surface acoustic wave imaging based on the optical pump-probe technique with periodic light source at a fixed repetition frequency. Usually such imaging measurement may generate and detect acoustic waves with their frequencies only at or near the integer multiples of the repetition frequency. Here we propose a method which utilizes the amplitude modulation of the excitation pulse train to modify the generation frequency free from the mentioned limitation, and allows for the first time the discrimination of the resulted upper- and lower-side-band frequency components in the detection. The validity of the method is demonstrated in a simple measurement on an isotropic glass plate covered by a metal thin film to extract the dispersion curves of the surface acoustic waves.

    Using an ultrafast optical technique we image near-gigahertz flexural acoustic waves propagating in a thin gold wedge deposited on an ultrathin silicon nitride slab. Temporal Fourier transforms of the imaged data in two dimensions allow individual frequencies to be accessed. The wave fronts associated with antisymmetric Lamb waves bend towards the thin end of the wedge. This behaviour is mimicked with an analytical model based on sections of a linear wedge. We also conduct numerical simulations which show good agreement with the experimental results.

    We describe an ultrafast optical technique to quantitatively detect picosecond ultrasonic displacements of solid surfaces, thus giving access to the longitudinal strain pulse shape. Transient optical reflectance changes recorded at oblique optical incidence with a common-path interferometric configuration based on ultrafast ellipsometry monitor gigahertz coherent phonon pulses. We demonstrate for a tungsten film the quantitative extraction of the strain pulse shape free of distortions arising from the photoelastic effect, and analyze the results with the two-temperature model to obtain the value g approximate to 3 x 10(17) Wm(-3) K-1 for the electron-phonon coupling constant. Analysis of the data also reveals a thermo-optic contribution. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America

    We image the gigahertz vibrational modes of a plasmonic-phononic crystal at sub-micron resolution by means of an ultrafast optical technique, using a triangular array of spherical gold nanovoids as a sample. Light is strongly coupled to the plasmonic modes, which interact with the gigahertz phonons by a process akin to surface-enhanced stimulated Brillouin scattering. A marked enhancement in the observed optical reflectivity change at the centre of a void on phononic resonance is likely to be caused by this mechanism. By comparison with numerical simulations of the vibrational field, we identify resonant breathing deformations of the voids and elucidate the corresponding mode shapes. We thus establish scanned optomechanical probing of periodic plasmonic-phononic structures as a new means of investigating their coupled excitations on the nanoscale. © IOP Publishing Ltd and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.

    In this work, the calculation of complex band structures of two-dimensional bulk phononic crystals (2DPCs) is discussed by the finite element method. A modification of the classical ω (k) approach - calculating the unknown frequencies for a real wave number - is modified to a k (ω) solution, which allows the evaluation of complex wave numbers for real frequencies. The dispersion relation of a 2DPC in a square lattice is presented and it is shown that the problem reduces to a polynomial eigenvalue problem with quadratic and quartic eigenvalue problems in the Γ - X - M - Γ directions. The developed method is applied for solid-vacuum PCs made of isotropic materials consisting cylindrical holes. Complex dispersion diagrams are calculated with various Poisson's ratios and the mode shapes of the propagating and the evanescent modes are presented. The significance of the complex bands is discussed. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

    Crystal acoustics is a field that has engaged the attention of theoreticians and experimentalists alike for decades and more. Many striking effects have been revealed, and elegant analytical techniques applied to their interpretation. This article is oriented towards the experimental aspects of the field and the interpretation of the phenomena that have been observed. Particular attention is given to reviewing the techniques that have probed the intricacy of acoustic wave propagation in crystals, including phonon imaging, laser- and capillary-fracture-generated ultrasound, transmission acoustic microscopy and surface Brillouin scattering, and a selection of results obtained with these techniques is presented. Some of these studies pertain to bulk waves and others to surface acoustic waves. The interpretation of far-field observations is carried out within the ray approximation, and elastodynamic Green's functions are invoked in the interpretation of near-field results. Extensive use is made of the acoustic-slowness and wave surfaces, in particular features such as acoustic axes, with their attendant polarization singularities, and folds in the wave surface.

    Control of sound in phononic band-gap structures promises novel control and guiding mechanisms. Designs in photonic systems were quickly matched in phononics, and rows of defects in phononic crystals were shown to guide sound waves effectively. The vast majority of work in such phononic guiding has been in the frequency domain, because of the importance of the phononic dispersion relation in governing acoustic confinement in waveguides. However, frequency-domain studies miss vital information concerning the phase of the acoustic field and eigenstate coupling. Using a wide range of wavevectors k, we implement an ultrafast technique to probe the wave field evolution in straight and L-shaped phononic crystal surface-phonon waveguides in real- and k-space in two spatial dimensions, thus revealing the eigenstate-energy redistribution processes and the coupling between different frequency-degenerate eigenstates. Such use of k-t space is a first in acoustics, and should have other interesting applications such as acoustic-metamaterial characterization.

    Waveguide devices for Controlling the path of propagation of surface acoustic waves can be created by introducing defects in a phononic crystal. Such waveguides show more complex dispersion than conventional waveguides, and are useful in applications such as signal processing. Here we present spatio-temporal Fourier analysis of real-time imaging and simulation of laser-induced surface acoustic waves at frequencies up to ∼ 1 GHz in phononic crystal waveguides formed by machining microscopic holes in a silicon slab. In particular we analyse our results as movies in k-space, revealing the effects of diffraction, reflection, waveguiding and attenuation in a particularly simple way.

    The calculation of complex band structures for surface gratings (one dimensional phononic crystals) and for two dimensional phononic crystals is discussed in the presented paper. We show an extension of the finite element method and the semi-analytical finite element method based on the dynamic condensation to achieve this aim. Complex band structures are particularly important for surface gratings, since the folded surface waves become evanescent beyond the sound cone. This behavior and the complex interconnections between the real propagating modes are discussed. The presence of an evanescent mode within the complete stop band is shown for surface gratings. This describes the spatial decay of the elastic waves inside the stop band. The presented method is extended for two dimensional phononic crystals with square lattices whereby the different orientations of the wave vector lead to polynomial eigenvalue problems including quadratic and quartic eigenvalue problems. © 2013 IEEE.

    In recent decades, the impulsive stimulated scattering (ISS) method, which is based on photothermal and photoacoustic phenomena, has been successfully used to simultaneously investigate the thermal and elastic properties in a four-wave mixing configuration, both in transmission in semitransparent materials and on reflecting surfaces of solids. In this report, an extension of the technique is proposed to study a laser-induced thermoelastic response at the free surface of glass-forming liquids. The employed all-optical configuration allows extraction of information about the acoustic shear modulus in the MHz frequency range, and hence is complementary to the classical ISS configuration in the transmission mode, which is suitable to study the relaxation of the longitudinal acoustic modulus, and to another earlier reported ISS configuration, which is exciting and probing laser-induced thermoelastic phenomena at a liquid-solid interface. A theoretical model is presented and numerically illustrated for the glass transition of glycerol, and experimentally validated for water at room temperature.

    We use locally-excited gigahertz surface phonon wavepackets in microscopic line structures of different pitches to reveal profound anisotropy in the radiation pattern of a point source in a grating. Time-domain data obtained by an ultrafast optical imaging technique and by numerical simulations are Fourier transformed to obtain frequency-filtered real-space acoustic field patterns and k-space phononic band structure. The numerically-obtained k-space images are processed to reveal an intriguing double-horn structure in the lowest-order group-velocity surface, which explains the observed non-propagation sectors bounded by caustics, noted at frequencies above the bottom of the first stop band. We account for these phonon-focusing effects, analogous to collimation effects previously observed in two-and three-dimensional lattices, with a simple analytical model of the band structure based on a plane wave expansion. As the frequency is increased, a transition to dominant waveguiding effects along the lines is also documented.

    We investigate the vibrational modes of a triangular array of anisotropic, hexagonal GaAs nanopillars on a GaAs substrate through ultrafast changes in optical reflectivity. By comparison with simulations, we identify GHz resonances, mode shapes, and damping. In addition, by varying the pillar diameter, height, and pitch, we distinguish collective and localized modes. A proper understanding of substrate-attached nanostructure dynamics will lead to better characterization of nanosensors based on perturbations to vibrational resonances.

    Focusing and subwavelength imaging of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) through a phononic crystal flat lens are discussed in the presented work. Experimental and numerical wave fields are obtained in the time-domain by an optical technique and by numerical simulations. Spatial distributions of the acoustic field are accessed using a temporal Fourier transform. The revealed focusing of the elastic waves in the first band of the crystal is governed by the concave equifrequency contour of the leaky-Rayleigh wave. The spatial distributions of the experimental and numerical acoustic fields also unfold subwavelength imaging of SAWs. Numerical simulations show that the imaging quality can be improved by embedding the flat lens into a medium with higher wave velocity. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

    We investigate the vibrational modes of gold nanorings on a silica substrate with an ultrafast optical technique. By comparison with numerical simulations, we identify several resonances in the gigahertz range associated with axially symmetric deformations of the nanoring and substrate. We elucidate the corresponding mode shapes and find that the substrate plays an important role in determining the mode damping. This study demonstrates the need for a plasmonic nano-optics approach to understand the optical excitation and detection mechanisms for the vibrations of plasmonic nanostructures.

    We map the band structure of surface acoustic modes of a periodic array of copper lines embedded in a SiO2 film on a silicon substrate by means of the laser-induced transient grating technique. A detailed map of the lowest sheet of the omega(k) surface and partial maps of two higher-order sheets are obtained. We discuss the topology of the omega(k) surface and explain how it arises from the Rayleigh and Sezawa modes of the film/substrate system. In the vicinity of the bandgap formed at the Brillouin zone boundary, the first and second dispersion sheets take the form of a saddle and a bowl, respectively, in agreement with a weak perturbation model. The shape of the third dispersion sheet, however, appears to defy expectations based on the perturbation approach. In particular, it contains minima located off the symmetry directions, which implies the existence of zero group velocity modes with an obliquely directed wavevector.

    We investigate numerically and experimentally the negative refraction of surface acoustic waves in two-dimensional phononic crystals in the MHz range. We performed high-performance time-domain simulations of propagating broadband surface acoustic waves with the Finite Element Method (FEM) and spatio-temporal imaging by means of pulsed optical excitation and interferometric detection. Experimental and numerical evidence is found for negative refraction from surface wave focusing at particular frequencies after wave propagation through a parallel-sided phononic crystal layer. Obliquely incident plane waves on a phononic crystal were also investigated by numerical simulations. The transmitted waves show a clear shift of the wave front at particular frequencies, providing further evidence for negative refraction of the surface acoustic waves.

A fiber-based pump setup generates the surface waves and a common-path interferometer images them in the time domain over the sphere surface as they pass through the pole opposite the source of excitation. Fourier analysis allows the acoustic spectrum of the acoustic source to be extracted and waves traveling in opposite directions to be isolated. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

    We use ultrashort optical pulses to microscopically image carrier and thermal diffusion in two spatial dimensions in pristine and mechanically polished surfaces of crystalline silicon. By decomposing changes in reflectivity in the latter sample into a transient component that varies with delay time and a steady-state component that varies with pump chopping frequency, the influence of thermal diffusion is isolated from that of carrier diffusion and recombination. Additionally, studies using carrier injection density as a parameter are used to clearly identify the carrier recombination pathway.

    Laser-induced transient grating measurements and ultrafast optical pump-probe imaging of surface acoustic waves near a linear boundary between copper and silica films on a silicon substrate indicate the presence of a boundary-localized mode with a phase velocity slightly below the Rayleigh wave velocity on the copper film. We analyze in detail the dispersion of this localized mode in comparison with that of the Rayleigh waves in the surrounding materials. The existence of the localized mode is ascribed to the nonuniformity of the copper film thickness near its edge resulting from polishing during fabrication.

    Broadband coherent surface phonon wave packets up to 1 GHz in a microscopic embedded disk are excited and dynamically imaged with ultrashort optical pulses. We isolate a whispering-gallery-like mode using a technique involving quadrature detection of the out-of-plane surface motion on modulating the optical excitation beam. The eigenmode distribution is obtained from spatiotemporal Fourier transforms and a radial-azimuthal decomposition demonstrates the selective excitation of a mode with 26-fold rotational symmetry and allows an estimate of the cavity Q factor to be made.

    Ultrashort light pulses absorbed in a medium generate both bulk and surface acoustic waves: we focus here on imaging the surface waves and on monitoring the bulk acoustic waves that propagate in the depth direction. This is done in the time domain by delayed probe light pulses. For the bulk acoustic waves, the generated frequency ranges up to 1 THz. Some studies concerning the ultrafast electron-phonon relaxation in metal films, high frequency generation in semiconductor quantum wells, and high frequency shear acoustic wave generation and detection are reviewed here. For the surface acoustic waves the generated frequency ranges up to 1 GHz, and time-resolved two-dimensional images of the propagation are obtained with micron lateral spatial resolution. This imaging method is applied to anisotropic crystals and phononic crystals to elucidate their acoustic properties.

    Surface acoustic wave propagation on a microscopic two-dimensional phononic crystal consisting of a square lattice of holes is imaged in two dimensions and in real time at frequencies up to 1 GHz by means of pulsed ultrashort optical excitation and detection. The acoustic dispersion relation obtained by spatiotemporal Fourier transforms shows the opening of stop bands at the zone boundaries for surface waves traveling parallel to the phononic crystal axes. We detect pronounced Bloch harmonics above the stop band, and reveal the spatial mode distributions at different frequencies. We also observe phonon collimation for frequencies at which the constant-frequency surfaces become square in shape.

    A series of experiments have been conducted that microscopically image thermal diffusion and surface acoustic phonon propagation within a single crystallite of a polycrystalline Si sample. The experimental approach employs ultrashort optical pulses to generate an electron-hole plasma and a second probe pulse is used to image the evolution of the plasma. By decomposing the signal into a component that varies with delay time and a steady state component that varies with pump modulation frequency, the respective influence of carrier recombination and thermal diffusion are identified. Additionally, the coherent surface acoustic phonon component to the signal is imaged using a Sagnac interferometer to monitor optical phase.

Sound velocities, ultrasonic attenuation, and photoelastic constants are experimentally derived.

    Picosecond shear acoustic pulses can be generated in solids using ultrashort optical pulses. Here we use this technique to seek high frequency shear waves in water, ethylene glycol and glycerol while simultaneously measuring high frequency longitudinal wave velocity and attenuation. We use a silica thin film on (114) GaAs to generate shear and longitudinal acoustic pulses at frequencies up to similar to 50 GHz by ultrashort pulsed optical excitation. The acoustic pulses are transmitted into adjacent liquids, and are detected through variations in the optical reflectivity. Although we could not detect shear waves in these liquids, we did detect gigahertz longitudinal elastic stiffening.

By recording a set of acoustic transfer functions, we show that it is possible to implement time-reversal acoustics and refocus the wave packets up to the GHz range, two orders of magnitude higher than usual. Many applications in time-reversal acoustics are thus transposable to correspondingly smaller structures, opening the way to efficient nondestructive characterization and manipulation of multiple scattering on the microscale.

    Broadband surface phonon wave packets on a phononic crystal made up of a microstructured line pattern are tracked in two dimensions and in real time with an ultrafast optical technique. The eigenmode distribution and the 2D acoustic band structure are obtained from spatiotemporal Fourier transforms of the data up to 1 GHz. We find stop bands at the zone boundaries for both leaky-longitudinal and Rayleigh waves, and show how the structure of individual acoustic eigenmodes in k space depends on Bloch harmonics and on mode coupling.

    Using an optical technique, we present time-resolved measurements of high frequency surface acoustic waves propagating across the boundary between two single crystals. The choice of the elastically anisotropic cubic crystal copper allows the observation of anisotropic surface acoustic propagation with cuspidal wave fronts together with refraction in the presence of significant orientation mismatch. The effect of the subsurface grain boundary angle on the transmitted acoustic field is revealed.

    We describe an improved two-dimensional optical scanning technique combined with an ultrafast Sagnac interferometer for delayed-probe imaging of surface wave propagation. We demonstrate the operation of this system, which involves the use of a single focusing objective, by monitoring surface acoustic wave propagation on opaque substrates with picosecond temporal and micron lateral resolutions. An improvement in the lateral resolution by a factor of 3 is achieved in comparison with previous setups for similar samples. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.

    Ultrashort optical pulses are used to excite and probe picosecond acoustic pulses in a sample consisting of an opaque material upon which ice is continuously deposited from the vapor phase at similar to 110 K. By analysis of the ultrasonic propagation and reflection inside the submicron ice film and taking into account the scattering of the probe light by the acoustic waves, the thickness, sound velocity, refractive index, ultrasonic attenuation, and photoelastic constant of the ice film are derived. This method should find applications for the in situ monitoring of thin transparent films during growth. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.

    Picosecond acoustic-phonon pulse generation and detection is investigated in a sample containing three GaAs/Al 0.3Ga 0.7As quantum wells of different thickness with an interferometric optical pump and probe technique. The pump photon energy is tuned through the hh1-e1 transitions of each well and the probe photon energy is chosen to allow the detection of the phonon pulses at the sample surface. The phonon pulse shapes are explained with a model that relates the carrier wave functions to the acoustic strain, and the acoustic strain to the detected optical reflectance and phase changes. ©2005 The American Physical Society.

    Picosecond acoustic pulses generated in solids with ultrashort optical pulses can be detected through the reflectance or phase changes of optical probe pulses. The detection relies on acousto-optic coupling resulting from a combination of the photoelastic effect and transient surface displacements. The acoustic strain pulse shape gives access to the ultrafast dynamics of the electrons that influence the generation process. This pulse shape is directly related to the contribution to the probe light modulation resulting from surface displacement. Here we present a method that allows the discrimination between the photoelastic and surface displacement contributions using a novel oblique optical incidence geometry, allowing the strain pulse shape to be directly obtained in a single measurement.

    High frequency ultrasonic pulse generation and detection are investigated in a sample with three embedded GaAs/Al(0.3)Ga(0.7)As quantum wells by means of ultrashort optical pulses. The experimental results, showing that ultrasonic frequencies up to 0.5THz are detected, are compared with numerical simulations of the ultrasonic pulse generation, propagation and attenuation, and of the optical detection process. The effective optical extinction coefficients of the embedded quantum wells and the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient of Al(0.3)Ga(0.7)As are determined from the analysis.

    The use of acoustic pulses to image materials is well-known in echography or sonar applications. We are extending this field by generating point-excited sound pulses on solid surfaces with ultrashort laser pulses and imaging the resulting surface wave propagation in real time. To see the tiny vibrations of the surface, smaller in amplitude than the dimensions of a single atom, we use another set of laser pulses for scanned probing. The typical surface phonon wavelength is of the order of a few microns, corresponding to frequencies up to 1 GHz. With such a system we can watch coherent acoustic wave packets in two dimensions rippling across crystal surfaces and microscopic landscapes.

    A theory for the analysis of experiments involving laser picosecond acoustics with obliquely incident probe light in a two-layer structure is outlined. The reflectance and phase changes of the reflected light are calculated with a theory that takes into account the effects of multiple optical reflections. The sample consists of a single partially transparent layer on a substrate, both with arbitrary optical constants. We discuss the conditions in which one may discriminate between components of the optical modulation of a probe beam arising from the photoelastic effect and from the displacement of the sample interfaces induced by the acoustic strain.

    Surface phonon imaging is very useful for testing thin structures, in particular because it allows film thicknesses or elastic constants to be derived. We present a method for imaging surface phonons based on optical reflectivity measurements combined with excitation using picosecond optical pulses. Surface phonons are generated in a thin aluminium. film on a transparent glass substrate. The induced strain modulates the refractive index of the film and substrate through the photoelastic effect. Probe laser pulses incident from the film or substrate side can be used to image surface phonon propagation in real time by simply monitoring the modulation in the reflected probe beam intensity. When we image from the substrate side, surface-skimming longitudinal bulk phonons are clearly imaged in addition to the surface phonons. (C) 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

    Laser picosecond acoustics involves the excitation and detection of picosecond acoustic strain pulses in thin films with ultrashort light pulses. The use of oblique probe light incidence permits a greater degree of freedom in choosing the optical probing conditions and thereby should allow the extraction of more information about the profile of the propagating acoustic strain pulses. Here, we present a theory for the modulation of light reflected at oblique incidence from a solid containing an acoustic strain distribution. The theory can account for the real and imaginary parts of the reflectance variation, and involves both the effect of the transient surface motion and of the photoelastically modulated dielectric constants in the solid. We show, in particular, how the theory can be applied to extract the contribution to the reflectance change arising from the surface motion in an opaque isotropic solid, thereby allowing direct access to the shape of the acoustic strain pulse propagating therein.

    Ultrashort coherent phonon-pulse generation and detection is investigated in a GaAs-Al0.3Ga0.7As quantum well structure containing three wells of different widths using an optical pump and probe method. The pump photon energy is tuned to the region of the hhl-el transition energies of the wells and the probe photon energy is chosen for detection of the phonon pulses that reach the sample surface. By studying the dependence of the probe reflectance change on the pump photon energy, we demonstrate the possibility of wavelength-selective excitation of picosecond acoustic-phonon pulses in quantum wells.

    The field of laser picosecond acoustics has thrived owing to the ease of detection of propagating picosecond acoustic pulses through changes in optical reflectance. Reflectance changes are caused by the inhomogeneous modulation of the refractive index by the propagating elastic strain through the photoelastic effect and also by the associated induced motion of the surface and interfaces. In this paper we present a general formula for calculating the reflectance change based on a rigorous one-dimensional treatment of the perturbation in optical properties of arbitrary multilayer structures, The theory is applied to the quantitative analysis of data obtained by laser picosecond acoustics for a SiO2-Cr double-layer film on a fused silica substrate. The analysis allows the discrimination of the photoelastic contribution and the surface or interface motion contribution to the experimental reflectance variation. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

The temporal and spatial evolution of the electron and lattice temperatures up to several picoseconds after laser photon absorption have a major impact on the final profile of the acoustic-phonon pulses. These phonon pulse shapes can be explained by considering both thermal and electron diffusion, and taking into account the effects of frequency-dependent ultrasonic attenuation.

    We derive analytical formulas for the modulation of the reflectance and transmittance of light normally incident on a multilayer thin-film structure whose refractive indices are perturbed by an ultrashort optical pulse. The formulas, expressed in compact form, should prove useful for analysis of a wide range of ultrashort time-scale experiments on multilayers as well as longer time-scale photoacoustic and photothermal experiments based on optical probing. We demonstrate our method by the analysis of the modulated reflectance variation of a SiO2/Cr structure in which picosecond acoustic pulses have been optically excited.

    The problem of the photothermal modulation of optical beams passing through multilayer films is an extremely complex one owing to the inhomogeneously modulated refractive index combined with multiple optical reflections inside the sample. This problem has so far not been given an exact analytical treatment in the field of photothermal probing. We consider here such a treatment for normal-incidence optical probing in reflectance of photothermally modulated single-layer thin-film samples with arbitrary optical constants. The validity of the method is demonstrated by application to a thin transparent film of silica on a silicon substrate. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    The principles of the photo-detection of shear acoustic waves in laser picosecond acoustics are discussed. The shear strain in an isotropic material induces off-diagonal components in the dielectric tensor, that is, the material shows strain induced birefringence. By considering the light reflection from the surface of a birefringent material, it is proved that one needs 1) non-normal incidence of probe light, 2) a shear direction perpendicular to the plane of incidence, and 3) both S and P polarization components of the probe light, for efficient shear strain detection.

    We describe an experimental investigation of the generation and detection of picosecond acoustic-phonon pulses in a thin slab of GaAs using ultrashort optical pulses. Comparison of the optical phase variation with a simple theory for ambipolar diffusion indicates that carrier diffusion has a significant effect on the shape of the phonon pulses generated. The phonon pulse duration is measured to be similar to 25 ps, four times longer than that expected from optical-absorption considerations alone, indicating that hot carriers penetrate more than 100 nm into the sample during the phonon pulse generation process.

    GexSe1-x glasses have been investigated by Raman scattering. The ability of crystallization is obtained by studies of heating glasses from room temperature up to 1000 K. To understand the low-frequency dynamics of the network, we propose a fractal-structure view and a qualitative degree of the fragility. Transition with the connectivity for each studied property is universally related to the stiffness transition, derived from the concept of the constraint theory.

    We have investigated the structural relaxations by Raman scattering (10-350 cm(-1)) in GexSe1-x glasses (0.07 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.35). Around and above the glass transition temperature, strong quasielastic scattering is observed in the low-frequency spectra (10-90 cm(-1)) of floppy glasses (x less than or equal to 0.20). On the other hand, in rigid glasses (x greater than or equal to 0.23), the strong quasielastic contribution cannot be detected in our spectra. We discuss the transition of the relaxational dynamics from floppy glasses to rigid ones in terms of the constraint counting theory. The distinctness of the transition demonstrates a self-organization of the network.

    Femtosecond spectroscopy of semiconductors has been extensively studied because it provides a window for the observation of ultrafast carrier distributions. Here we report an experimental investigation of the ultrafast coherent acoustic phonon generation mechanisms in bulk GaAs with ultrashort optical pulses. Comparison with a simple theory for ambipolar diffusion indicates that carrier diffusion has a significant effect on the spectrum of the phonon pulses generated.

    Coherent acoustic phonon pulses are excited and detected in a GaAs/Al-0.3 Ga-0.7 As double quantum well structure using femtosecond optical Pulses, The wavelength of the infrared pump light is chosen to selectively generate picosecond acoustic phonon pulses in two buried quantum wells. The wavelength of the probe light pulses is chosen to allow phonon pulse detection in the near-surface region of the sample. Using an interferometric detection technique both reflectivity and phase variations of the probe beam are monitored, an the phonon pulses generated in the well regions are clearly observed in both these variations. An excellent agreement is obtained when the data is compared to a model accounting for the transient surface displacement combined with the spatially distributed variations in refractive index.

    We have observed resonant Raman enhancement of stretching vibration of Se-Se bonds relative to breathing vibration of GeSe4/2 tetrahedra at room temperature and 15 K in GeSe2 chalcogenide semiconducting glass. At 15 K, structural changes by illumination, which cause photodarkening, induce excess resonant enhancement. After the structural changes are saturated, we can observe a reversible change with the excitation power in resonant Raman spectra. It is found that the origin of the the reversible power dependence is the same as that of the excess resonant enhancement. Both of them are attributed to three-fold coordinated Se atoms forming Se-Se bonds, which cause the photodarkening.

    The relationship between the local structures and the electronic stares of layered crystalline GeSe2 are studied by resonant Raman scattering. We observe 34 Raman-active modes of symmetry A(g), and find a selective resonant enhancement of the modes. Almost all the modes are enhanced around 2.7 eV except the two modes. This selective enhancement is attributed to the resonant effect with the localized exciton. We find the essential difference in the atomic motions between the resonant and nonresonant modes. Such behaviors are explained by a structural model of the localized exciton.

    We have investigated the effect of thermal annealing on dynamics of photoluminescence (PL) in vacuum-evaporated a-GeSe2 films with thickness of 15 mu m. The intensity of PL increases over 200 times after annealing at 250 degrees C, which makes it possible to take a first investigation on both decay time and fatigue effect. The disordered amorphous structure of the a-GeSe2 film, containing wrong bonds, Ge-Ge and Se-Se, has been reconstructed to a stable structure by diminishing the number of the wrong bonds and the related strain or internal pressure by thermal annealing.

    Relaxation processes of the photoexcited states in layered crystalline GeSe2 are studied by time-resolved photoluminescence measurement. Two photoluminescence bands, P1 and P2, are clearly resolved from their decay kinetics. It is found that one of the relaxation pathways to the P2 band arises from a band-edge exciton state. The P2 band shows no polarization dependence, in spite of the fact that the photoexcitation of the exciton shows a strongly anisotropic optical character, We discuss the relaxation process on the basis of the luminescence characteristics and the structural model of the band-edge exciton quasi-localized at edge-sharing tetrahedra, (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

    The intensity and decay profile of the photoluminescence (PL) in grassy GeSe2 are measured as a function of temperature from 7 to 200 K. The intensity decreases exponentially in the temperature region >100 K. The complicated temperature dependence of the decay profile as well as the dependence of the intensity are explained in a unified framework by adopting a model of the luminescent sites whose thermal activation energy for the non-radiative process is distributed. We show that the intensity variation is affected by the non-radiative process while the decay life time depends almost only on the radiative transition rate. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

    We have investigated the Raman spectra in a range 3-100 cm(-1) in chalcogenide glasses, GexS1-x and GexSe1-x, with 0 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.42 in the average coordination number, [r], from 2 to 2.84. The relation between the rigidity percolation, based on the prediction of the mean-held constraint theory, and a relative degree of fragility, representing the structural relaxation of the network, are demonstrated by varying the structures of the glasses. The obtained fragility of the glasses for x < 0.20 ([r] < 2.4) is larger than that for x > 0.20. A decrease of the fragility at about [r] = 2.4 is attributed to the predicted rigidity percolation threshold where the glass changes from floppy to rigid, and mesoscopic structural changes beyond the mean-field theory. For [r] > 2.4, fragility depends on chemical bonds between Ge-Se and Ge-S systems, since the local structure directly contributes to the properties of the overcoordinated network.

    To clarify the structure of amorphous silicon (a-Si), with the thickness less than 5nm, affected by the interface between a-Si and a-SiO2 as well as the structural changes after an annealing of 900 degrees C in N-2 gas atmosphere, Raman scattering investigation is carried out in a-Si/SiO2 superlattice (SL) films prepared by the sputtering method. Vibrational motion of strained a-Si at and near a-Si/SiO2 interface is influenced by the vibration of pressed a-SiO2 at the other side of the interface that results a blue shift of transverse optic (TO) -like modes in a-Si. The narrow space of thin (<2.5 nm in this work) a-Si layer impedes the crystallization to a-Si and the relaxation of energy during the crystallization event.

    We have measured low frequency Raman spectra in Ge chalcogenide glasses. The dependence of spectral dimensionality of stretching fracton, (d) over tilde(s), on the sample composition is obtained from low frequency reduced Raman spectrum and is correctly correlated to the actual network dimensionality of Ge chalcogenide glasses. The value of (d) over tilde(s) is supposed to be a parameter representing the degree of localization of lattice vibrations and an indicator of network dimensionality of network glasses. The findings on the interpretation of (d) over tilde(s) should be applied in future research of disordered systems. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The results imply an important relationship between the changes of fragility and the structural changes. The rapid drop of the fragility at average coordination number, [r], of 2.4 (x = 2.0) is considered as evidence for the rigidity threshold predicted by the mean-field constraint counting procedures.

    The temperature dependence of photoluminescence spectra in Mn-doped ZnS retrieved after the pressure-induced structural phase transition has been studied in the energy range from 0.8 to 2.5 eV. At room temperature, strong photoluminescence with the peak energy of 1.3 eV has been observed, This luminescence band is similar to the near infrared emission band observed in virgin bulk crystals with relatively large Mn concentration. However, the luminescence intensity is much stronger than that in the bulk crystals. The temperature dependence has revealed that the large quantum efficiency at room temperature resulted from the suppression of thermal quenching. At low temperature, the yellow band at 2.1 eV which is caused by the internal transition within the Mn2+ ions and the emission band at 1.6 eV are also observed in the pressure-retrieved samples. In the bulk crystal, a new emission band has been observed near 0.9 eV. The effective phonon energy and the Huang-Rhys factor of these spectra are determined using a configuration coordinate model.

    The structures of glassy and liquid GexSe1-x (0.00 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.33) and the structural changes occurring at the glass-transition have been investigated, using Raman scattering combined with differential scanning calorimetry. The medium range structures in the glassy and liquid states are discussed in relation to anomalous changes in the Raman spectra at the glass-transition. The characteristic spectrum of crystalline GeSe2 appears, superimposed on that for liquid GexSe1-x, in the composition range 0.18 less than or equal to x less than or equal to 0.33. It is found that the rate of recrystallization shows an abrupt change when x increases from 0.15 to 0.18? although the structure does not change significantly. These results are considered as evidence for a rigidity threshold at an average coordination, [r], of 2.4 (x = 0.20), which is predicted based on mean-field constraint counting procedures.

    Time-resolved photoluminescence measurement is done on glassy GeSe2. The decay curve consists of a process whose decay time is about similar to 0.3 ms and a faster process whose decay time is less than 1 mu s. The decay time of the slower process becomes short with increasing excitation energy. The ratio between the slower process and the faster process increases with increasing excitation energy especially in the higher emission energy region. The relaxation process from the excited state just after the photon absorption to the trapped excited state is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. AII rights reserved.

    The structural difference, due to different preparation methods, in glassy GeSe2 samples is investigated by photo-induced crystallization phenomena using time-resolved Raman measurement. Crystallization temperatures of two samples, which were cooled from melts at different cooling rates, were almost the same in thermal crystallization processes. However, in photo-induced crystallization processes, threshold temperatures of the crystallization directly depended on their cooling rates, the smaller cooling rate the lower the threshold temperature. In the sample cooled at a smaller cooling rate, its medium-range structure is more similar to crystalline nuclei, or easier to transform into crystalline nuclei. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.

    The photo-induced and thermal crystallization processes of amorphous GeSe2 films are studied and compared by observation of Raman scattering spectra, Reversible changes of medium range structure are observed in a temperature region well below the crystallization temperature in the thermal crystallization process. This structure is assumed to be caused by large structural fluctuations in the evaporated films. On the other hand, in the photo-induced crystallization process, structural changes are not observed before crystallization begins. The observation is consistent with the fact that the high temperature phase crystal grows much more favorably than the low temperature phase crystal does in the photo-induced crystallization process, though the crystallization temperature is well below the thermal crystallization temperature in the dark.

    Low-frequency Raman spectra (10 (Formula presented)-80 (Formula presented) have been studied in the (Formula presented) glasses. The Raman spectra reduced by the Bose factor (Formula presented), which are proportional to the vibrational density of states, show a power-law dependence of the frequency, (Formula presented), (Formula presented) in a low-frequency region. The value (Formula presented) is a noninteger, which suggests that these glassy systems have fractal structures. The spectra (Formula presented) of Se-rich samples are classified into three regions whose vibrational properties are due to acoustic phonons, bending fractons, and stretching fractons, whereas that of the Ge-rich samples’ two regions are due to acoustic phonons and stretching fractons. The difference of two types of these low-frequency properties are explained by correlation of the structural crossover length (Formula presented) and the elastic crossover length (Formula presented) The threshold of these phenomena occurs near (Formula presented), which may be related to the prediction of the Phillips-Thorpe constraint theory. © 1998 The American Physical Society.

From Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) measurement, it was found that the amount of the oxygen incorporated inside the film can be controlled by the deposition ambient. From the chemical shift in AES spectra and Raman spectroscopy, it was found that deposited Si without oxygen ambient was amorphous and the observed oxygen in the film deposited in high oxygen ambient was chemically bonded with silicon and formed silicon-oxygen bonds,

Raman spectra exhibit some anomalous changes at the glass-transition. On the basis of these anomalous features which relate to the structural changes, we investigate a medium range structure in glassy and liquid GexSe1-x. In the Ge composition range of 0.04 < x < 0.18, both GeSe2 and Se crystals are much more difficult to be obtained than in the other Ge composition.

    We have investigated the dynamical processes of glass transition, crystallization and melting in GeSe2 by analyzing Raman spectra of glassy, crystalline and liquid GeSe2 as a function of temperature in a range between room temperature and 730 degrees C. Raman vibration bands related to short- and medium-range structures are observed in glassy and liquid forms. The result suggests that there is a topologically crystalline layer-like fragments in these two forms. The change of the spectral shape around the glass-transition temperature is explained by the decrease of interlayer interaction between the neighboring layer-like fragments consistent with the decrease of the viscosity.

    The density of states in the conduction band as well as that in the valence band in amorphous Ge20Si80-xBix and Bi2Se3 thin films has been investigated by inverse-photoemission and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopies. We have found that, with increasing Bi content, the conduction band minimum approaches the Fermi level, while the valence band maximum remains unchanged with respect to the Fermi level, It is concluded that the mixture of Ge-Se and Bi-Se anti-bonding orbits compose the conduction band of the Ge-Se-Bi system. The origin of the n-type conduction in the high Bi concentration region of Ge20Se80-xBix is attributed to this conduction band which appears just above the Fermi level.

    Photoluminescence spectra of Ge(SxSe1-x), glasses are investigated with respect to their composition and excitation-energy dependence. Even if the S content, x, is increased to 0.99, the photoluminescence spectra mainly involve those of g-GeSe2 glasses as their ingredient. This result indicates that the luminescence mainly occurs in Se-related luminescent centers. The excitation-energy dependence of the photoluminescence intensity of Se-rich and S-rich samples shows a similar tendency to those of GeSe2 and GeS2 glasses, respectively. We conclude that the energy transfer from S sites excited by light to Se sites is responsible for the observed phenomena.

    The photo-induced crystallization phenomena in amorphous GeSe2 film are studied by time resolved Raman spectroscopy with varying the spot size of the excitation laser light. The enlargement of the spot size increases the growth probability of the low temperature crystalline phase, while the high temperature crystalline phase dominates under the small spot. A model for understanding these results is proposed in terms of the temperature profile under the irradiation area. The fact that the threshold excitation power density at the onset of crystallization is independent of the spot size suggests that the electronic excitation by light plays an important role in the photo-induced crystallization process.

An extended VFF-BP model including interlayer interactions between Se atoms is proposed to understand the peculiar weakness of the A* Raman intensity.

    The photo-induced crystallization process in amorphous GeSe2. is investigated by time-resolved Raman spectroscopy with continuous or periodic light (4880 Angstrom) from an Ar ion laser. It is shown that the electronic and thermal processes work cooperatively to achieve the photo-crystallization. It is found that the periodic excitation experiments reveal the dynamical aspects of the process during latent periods before the crystallization. In particular, a relatively long dark period (10 ms) in the periodic excitation reverses the evolution process in the amorphous state.

    The conduction-band density of states of amorphous (a-) GeSe2 photo-dissolved by Ag and Cu metals has been examined by means of inverse-photo-emission spectroscopy (IPES). The characteristic feature of the IPES spectrum of a-GeSe2 rapidly smears out with the photo-dissolution of Ag or Cu metal, and each spectrum of the fully photo-doped samples is quite similar to that of a-GeSe1.5. This result is consistent with a structural model in which the dopant atoms are surrounded by four Se atoms and many Ge-Ge bonds are induced by photo-dissolution. We also measured the change of the IPES spectra in the process of Ag photo-doping.

    Quantum wire-like structures are formed in the AlGaAs/GaAs superlattices grown on vicinal GaAs (110) surfaces by MBE. SEM and EPMA observations reveal that the formation of giant steps and orientation dependent AlAs mole fraction of AlGaAs layers induce the quantum wire-like structures. Using RHEED, it is found that the step structures of AlGaAs surfaces depend on growth temperatures (diatomic steps above 600°C, giant steps below 600°C), while all the GaAs and AlAs surfaces consist of regular arrays of diatomic steps. Using this phenomenon, quantum wire structures are naturally formed by growing AlAs/AlGaAs/AlAs quantum wells on vicinal GaAs (110) surfaces with giant growth steps. The photoluminescence strongly polarized parallel to the wire direction gives a clear evidence for the formation of quantum wire structures. © 1993, The Vacuum Society of Japan. All rights reserved.

From the PL spectra, Al compositions in the wire are estimated to be much smaller than those in the well layers. The PL is polarized parallel to the wire direction. The observed large polarization supports the carrier confinement to the quantum wire structures.

The energy positions of these peaks are consistent with those of the calculated density of states of conduction bands and those expected from the imaginary part of dielectric function obtained by the optical reflectance measurement. By comparison with the Ge 2p,3d, and Se 3d core-absorption spectra, the first and second peaks are assigned to the antibonding states of the Ge-Se covalent bonds, and the third peak corresponds to the 4d and/or 5s states of both the Ge and Se atoms. © 1993 The American Physical Society.

    Depth profiles of Raman scattering and the photoluminescence (PL) properties of anodized porous Si have been studied by micro-measurement techniques. In Raman spectra a remarkable low-energy shift and broadening of the optical phonon line are observed as compared with the bulk Si phonon line basically owing to the phonon confinement. In the depth profiles the PL shows blueshift correlating with the low-energy shift of the Raman peak as the measured point approaches the surface. The redshift of the PL peak has been observed with the low-energy excitation in normal-incidence experiments. It is concluded that the structural depth inhomogeneity strongly affects the optical properties of porous Si.

    The Raman scattering spectra of various forms of GeSe2, such as amorphous films, single crystals, and small crystals prepared by a gas-evaporation deposition technique, are investigated with an excitation photon energy ranging from 2.1 to 2.8 eV. In the spectra of the crystals, there are two Raman bands, originating from two types of breathing vibrations of the GeSe4/2 tetrahedra: one is spread over the corner-sharing tetrahedra and the other is quasi-localized on the edge-sharing tetrahedra. In addition to the resonant Raman scattering related to the edge-sharing tetrahedra through the exciton transition observed with 2.71 eV excitation in the single crystals, a new resonant spectrum is found only in the small crystals with 2.54 eV excitation. With increasing disorder in the crystals, the intensity ratio between the two breathing vibration bands increases in the off-resonant excitation region. The Raman spectra in the amorphous states are ascribed to the breathing vibrations of GeSe4/2 tetrahedra which form a medium-range structure topologically similar to that of crystalline fragments.

    The characteristic Al peak at 199 cm-1 and the A1C peak at 216 cm-1 in the Raman spectrum of amorphous GeSe2 were compared with the peaks at 211 and 216 cm-1 in the spectrum of crystalline GeSe2. It was proved that the crystalline 216 cm-1 peak is an intrinsic mode which is enhanced by the bulk exciton transition. From a model calculation using a valence force field and bond polarizability, the 211 cm-1 peak was assigned to in-phase breathing vibrations extended along the GeSe4 tetrahedral chain structure, while the 216 cm-1 peak was attributed to in-phase breathing vibrations quasi-localized at the GeSe4 edge-sharing tetrahedra. The phonon density of states in the crystal has a doublet peak similar to the amorphous Raman spectrum. A correspondence between the amorphous and the crystalline Raman spectra was proposed.

    Raman spectra of GeX2 (X = S and Se) crystals in high (HT) and low (LT) temperature forms have been studied on the view point of the connectivity of GeX4 tetrahedra. The characteristic Raman bands are understood by a simple valence-force-field model combined with a bond polarizability model. The most intense Raman bands in HT-GeX2 have been assigned to tetrahedral A1 vibrations extended in the chain structures along the [100] direction. Quasi-localized A1 vibrations in the bridge structures in HT-GeX2 are responsible for a higher side-band of the main band. The main bands in the spectra of LT-GeX2 have been assigned to nearly degenerated A1 vibrations linearly extended in the two chains along the [001] direction. The difference between the spectra of GeS2 and GeSe2 has been roughly explained to be due to the difference between atomic masses.

    本研究では,計算科学的バンド設計に基づいてトポロジーで保護されたエッジモードの発現を予測,力学系にモデル化・可視化,その知見からエッジモードを介した極めて低損失な音波・弾性波伝搬実現を目指している。初年度は各班で以下の取組・成果が得られた。 【(岡大+早大)班】 これまでに設計したC3v対称性を持つ水中2次元フォノニック構造を薄膜系に拡張し,kHz~MHz帯でエッジモードが発現するフォノニック構造を設計した。並行して,既知構造をベースに,位相最適化法を用いてより高いロバスト性を持つ最適構造探索に成功,また,それらのプロトタイプ構造を3Dプリンタで試作し,レーザードップラー計測を行った。一方,GHz帯の設計構造は北大班ならびにNTT班で試作・評価を実施中である。 【北大班】 すでに着手しているフォノニック構造中を伝搬する表面弾性波の時間分解計測による可視化については,強誘電体基板上の銅ピラー構造によるフォノニック結晶で分散関係取得のための予備的な測定を行った。マクロスコピックなメカニカルフォノニック結晶におけるトポロジカルエッジモードの可視化については,回転可能なメカニカルグラフェン構造を設計・製作し,モーションキャプチャーシステムによる同構造の振動測定と解析を進めている。 【NTT班】(岡大+早大)班がGHz帯で設計したトポロジカルフォノニック導波路構造をMEMS作製技術の援用により試作し,エッジモード励起も確認した。並行して,磁性体装荷のGHzフォノニック結晶素子を作製し,強磁性マグノンによる共振周波数とQ値の変化を確認した。同時に,有限要素法を用いた数値解析法を構築し,計算による当該素子構造における磁気弾性変調効果のシミュレーションを行った。 また,代表者・分担者・協力研究者による「トポロジカルフォノニクス研究会」を年度内に4回オンライン開催し多数の参加者を得ている。

    本研究の第一の目的は、表面弾性波を活用する材料・デバイスの研究・開発において強力なツールである表面弾性波の時間分解イメージング法において、従来の方法で弱点とされた周波数分解能の不足を解決することである。この問題に対して、我々は測定に用いる繰り返しレーザーパルス列の強度を適切な周波数で変調することで任意周波数音響波成分を励起し、これを時間分解測定する手法を確立・発展させる。また、この手法を用いてフォノニック結晶・メタマテリアルの音響特性を調べる。本研究の第二の目的は、カイラリティを有する音響場とカイラリティを有する構造との相互作用を明らかにすることである。カイラル物質と 光との相互作用については広く研究されているが、音響場との相互作用は未開拓の分野である。しかしながら、音響カイラリティはカイラル物質の選択的励起や 音響波の単一方向伝播などの新しい応用が見込まれ、その基本的理解は重要である。 本年度は前年度より構築している上記の任意周波数時間分解二次元イメージング装置を改良し、測定の効率化を図った。特に、狭周波数帯域の光検出器とヘテロダイン法を組み合わせていた検出部分を見直し、広周波数帯域光検出器の使用によりヘテロダイン法を廃することで、装置の安定性が大幅に向上した。この装置を利用して、ガラス基板上にミクロンサイズのシリカ球を配置した音響メタマテリアルの表面音響波伝播特性を測定し、球の振動モードと表面音響波のモードの結合による特徴的な音響分散関係を実験的に取得した。また2次元フォノニック結晶の分散関係を従来よりも10倍以上の周波数分解能で測定した。さらに高速CMOSカメラを用いて二次元イメージングの高速化の研究を進めた。カイラリティ関連の研究では、カイラルな構造に基づくプリズム構造の音響波伝播特性のシミュレーションを進めた。

    ピコ秒時間幅の音響波パルスを用いて、物質のナノメートル内部構造やピコ秒時間域の電子と格子のダイナミクスを調べられる。特に、音響波パルス生成・検出に超短光パルスを用いるピコ秒レーザー音響法と呼ばれる方法は、多層薄膜構造の各層膜厚と弾性定数の測定や、物質中の超高速光励起キャリアダイナミクスの研究に活用されている。従来この方法では、試料の対称性による制約のために主として縦波音響波のみが用いられてきたが、縦波音響波に加えて剪断音響波を用いるならば、より広範な種々の物性が調べられる。このようなピコ秒剪断音響波発生・検出技術を開発し、これを様々な材料・構造評価や物性研究へ応用することを目的に以下の研究を行った。 1.Zn単結晶およびGaAs単結晶の低対称性面上にSiO2薄膜を形成した試料を用いて、斜め入射プローブ光学系を用いたレーザーピコ秒音響波発生・検出の実験を行った。不均一媒質に斜め入射する光の散乱理論を構築し、これを用いた定量的解析により光弾性定数テンソル、超音波減衰定数、電子格子相互作用定数などの様々な物理量を得た。 2.液体中のピコ秒超音波伝播を測定するための手法を開発し、Cr薄膜やGaAs単結晶で発生された数100GHz領域の音響波が水およびグリセロール中を伝播する様子の観測と解析を行った。 3.斜め入射プローブ光学系の応用として、ピコ秒超音波法において表面変位成分に起因する信号のみを抽出する測定法を開発し、その検証実験を行った。 4.異方性を持つ不均一な媒質中における音響波伝播の理論を構築した。 5.ピコ秒超音波法を用いて試料表面をマッピングするための2次元走査技術を開発し、異方性を持つ銅単結晶および人工的に作製した周期構造(フォノニック結晶)表面を伝播する表面波の観測と解析を行った。

    我々は、ローマ大学「ラ・サピエンザ」のR.Li Voti博士から提供された高精度のTiO_2/Ag多層膜試料を用い、試料中を伝播するピコ秒超音波の広範囲にわたる波長依存性・時間分解の測定を行った。同期した2つの波長可変な超短パルスレーザーシステムを使い、反射率変化の応答を観測した。この試料はフォトニックバンドギャップを波長400nm以下と800nm以上の光に対してもつので、ポンプ光の波長を800nmに固定してプローブ光の波長を400nm付近のバンドギャップエッジの周りで変化させ測定を行った。 プローブ光の波長を400nmから長波長側へ走査し、プローブ光の波長により試料の反射率変化が増大することを発見した。これは、1次元フォトニック構造においてフォトニックバンドギャップが超高速音響光学作用を増大することに利用できることを結論付けるものである。 我々はまた、プローブ光が試料中で多重反射する効果も含めた転送行列法によって、試料中を伝播するピコ秒超音波による反射率変化についての数値的なシミュレーションを行った。この理論結果は、すべてのプローブ光の波長領域において実験結果と一致し、これは初めてフォトニック構造におけるピコ秒時間領域での音響光学変調を定量的に評価したことになる。 この研究は、さらに2次元や3次元フォトニック結晶におけるピコ秒音響光学作用に研究を拡張する基礎となるものである。

    異方性物質における表面フォノンフォーカシング現象のイメージは、音響エネルギー伝達速度の方向依存性を反映した複雑な形状を示し、興味深い。また産業的な観点からは、同イメージング技術は、GHz帯表面音響波デバイス開発において中心的な役割を果たすと期待される。異方性物質におけるMHz-GHz領域の表面フォノンフォーカシング現象の動画的観測を行うことにより、表面音響波の分散関係、複雑なナノスケール構造をもつ試料(表面音響波デバイス)における音響波伝播についての多くの知見が直接的に得られる。 本研究では、表面音響波伝搬の実時間2次元イメージング技術の開発を行った。この技術は超高速光ポンププローブ法と共通光路型干渉計を組み合わせて、透明および不透明試料における表面音響波伝播を動画として観測するものである。ダイアモンド基板上に金薄膜を烝着した試料では最高2GHz程度の周波数成分を持つ表面音響波を観測した。また、等方性・異方性の透明・不透明試料における表面音響波伝搬の実時間イメージ測定結果から複数の表面音響波モードの分散関係を直接的に取得する解析方法を構築した。 新しい不透明基板イメージング方法としては、可動鏡を使うイメージ測定方法を開発した。また、干渉計を用いた測定方法に加えて、反射率変化による測定方法を開発した。これに関連して不均一な光学定数分布を持つ試料に垂直または非垂直に入射する光の散乱理論の構築を進めた。 応用研究としてはCu多結晶試料表面を伝搬する表面音響波の実時間イメージ測定を行った。結晶粒界通過時の表面波の屈折現象を観測し、FDTD法によるモデル計算と比較した。これにより表面波イメージングによる物質の内部構造評価の可能性が示された。 以上、ピコ秒時間分解能・ミクロン空間分解能を持つ汎用的な表面音響波伝播観測技術の開発を行い、MHz-GHz表面音響波伝播の物理を明らかにした。

    本研究は、ナノメートルスケールの空間分解能、ピコ秒領域の時間分解能をあわせ持つ新しい顕微鏡の開発を目的とした。その実現のためにナノメートルスケールの空間分解能を持つ走査型トンネル顕微鏡、走査型原子間力顕微鏡および超短レーザーパルスによるピコ秒の時間分解測定技術を組み合わせる方法をとった。このような要求を実現する具体的な方法として超短パルスレーザーと超高速光スイッチを走査型トンネル顕微鏡と組み合わせることが既に報告されているが、探針試料間の浮遊容量の影響により、高速動作時の空間分解能が制限される。そこで我々は、超短レーザパルス照射によって誘起される超高速フォノンパルスの伝搬の様子を原子間力顕微鏡で検出する方法を検討した。 フェムト秒モードロックレーザーからの光パルスを2つの光路に分け、光学遅延を用いてぞれぞれの光路を進む光パルス間に±1ns程度の範囲の時間差を与える。また、それぞれの光パルス列を2種類の異なる周波数で変調する。これら2つの光路を通り変調を受けた光パルスを金属単層薄膜試料に照射し、試料中に超高速のフォノンパルスを励起する。フォノンパルスによる試料表面の平均変位を遅延時間の関数として原子間力顕微鏡で検出する方法について、理論的な考察と実験を行った。また関連研究として、超音波力顕微鏡によるナノスケール横分解能の弾性的性質評価技術の研究および半導体量子井戸構造を用いた超高速フォノンパルス励起の研究を行った。

    本研究は、固体熱物性の空間的分布をナノスケールで画像化できる光学ヘテロダイン原子間力顕微鏡を開発することを目的とした。試料表面においてレーザー照射により光熱的に励起された超音波振動(周波数100MHz以下)の振幅および位相を、ナノメートルの横空間分解能で2次元画像化する。これにより試料表面および表面下の熱的な性質についてのナノメートル空間分解能測定を可能にする。 以下に示すようにして光ヘテロダイン原子間力顕微鏡を構築した。SiN透明カンチレバーを持つ原子間力顕微鏡のカンチレバー支持部に圧電素子をとりつけ、カンチレバーを周波数ω_1=11MHzにて振動させる。探針による試料表面の観察部位にω_1近傍の周波数ω_2で変調された赤外光を照射し試料表面に周期的な熱振動を励起する。試料表面は試料の局所的熱物性を反映してω_2による膨張収縮を繰り返す。試料探針間相互作用の試料探針間距離に対する非線形性により、カンチレバーの平均変位はω_1-ω_2の振動数で変化する。この変化の振幅と位相を原子間力顕微鏡の光てこ検出部を用いて検出し画像化する。試料としてSi基板上にCr薄膜(膜厚100nm)およびSiO_2/Cr薄膜(膜厚150nm/100nm)を作製したものを用いた。これらは同一基板上にμmスケールのモザイク状に形成されている。試料表面層は同一膜厚のCr層で覆われているので、表面から100nm深さまでの機械的な性質は試料表面の場所によらないようになっている。この試料についての光ヘテロダイン顕微鏡による観測を行った。試料表面下のSiO_2層の有無による熱物性の違いを反映して、位相像に大きなコントラストが得られた。1次元熱拡散モデルに基づいてこのコントラストを半定量的に解析した。これらの結果により光ヘテロダイン顕微鏡が試料表面下の局所的熱物性を画像化する有力な手段であることが示された。

    本研究は、1nm以下の水平分解能を持つ走査型超音波プローブ顕微鏡の応用の開発と物理の解明を行う。試料・探針カンチレバーの振動に寄与する弾性力・粘性、試料・探針間の表面エネルギーによる吸着力を分離し解析し、それにより固体表面の局所的複素弾性率の測定を定量化することを目標とした。 セイコー電子製の大気中動作原子間力顕微鏡を改造して、カンチレバー支持部分および試料ホルダーにPZT圧電素子を埋め込み、カンチレバーおよび探針に超音波振動を励起できる走査型超音波プローブ顕微鏡を作製した。作製した走査型超音波プローブ顕微鏡を用いて、カンチレバーの共振周波数の上および下を含む様々な振動数および様々な振幅を持つ超音波励起下で、試料探針間距離とカンチレバーの変位との関係を示すフォースカーブ測定を行った。試料としてはSi単結晶、GaAs単結晶を用いた。振動の振幅はマイケルソン干渉計で校正した。得られたフォースカーブには以下のような共通の現象が見られた。1)振動を加えていない場合、試料探針の接近時には小さな「ジャンプイン」、引き離し時には比較的大きな「ジャンプアウト」が観測される。2)試料の振幅を増していくと、「ジャンプアウト」の起る試料ステージ位置は急速に高くなっていく。3)ある閾値以上の振幅では、接近、引き離し時共にほぼ同じ試料ステージ位置で特徴的な斥力側へのジャンプが観測された。 上記の実験結果を理解するために、試料-探針間の弾性力、ダンピング、吸着力およびカンチレバーの弾性、ダンピングを考慮してカンチレバーのダイナミクスを差分解析法を用いて数値的に解析した。試料探針間の相互作用としてJKRモデルを用いた。計算結果は、上記1)および2)の実験結果については定量的に再現することができ、この解析法が有効であることが示された。

    本研究の主な目的は、フェムト秒光パルスを用いて基本的な金属物質およびナノ構造に対する超高速音響フォノン生成および伝搬について知識を拡大することである。直径数ミクロン程度まで集光した励起光およびプローブ光を用いることで、10ミクロン程度の空間分解能でフォノンを検出することが出来る。このために、我々は垂直入射の超高速反射率変化測定法と超高速干渉測定法を利用した。 我々は、アモルファスおよび液体金属中のコヒーレントフォノンの生成および検出を初めて行なった。水銀における非対称のフォノンパルス形状の結果は、電子拡散がフォノン生成に影響を及ぼしていることを明らかした。また、ピコ秒フォノンパルスがアモルファス金属中で生成および検出されることを初めて示した。 100フェムト秒程度の光パルスを用いた遷移金属中、特にCrとNiについてのコヒーレントフォノン生成および検出実験結果は、実験によって測定された超音波吸収を正しく考慮にいれた2温度モデルによってよく説明された。 20フェムト秒程度の赤外光パルスを用いた遷移金属中の超短光パルス実験を初めて試みた。超短時間スケールにおける超高速電子散乱の影響が、異なる膜厚の試料についてのデータ中に明らかに現れている。厚い膜については著しい極性反転の信号を観測した。 多層金属構造中のコヒーレントフォノンパルス生成についての予備的な結果は、観測された音響エコーを説明するために電子散乱を考慮にいる必要があることを示している。 多層構造による光の反射および透過の様子を解明するために関連する研究を行なった。縦コヒーレントフォノンだけではなく、せん断コヒーレントフォノンについても考慮した。

    本研究は,カルコゲナイドガラスの構造や力学特性等の諸性質に対し、中距離構造の形成・変化、硬さのパーコレーション、フラジリティ、フラクトンといったミクロ・メゾスコピックな観点から研究を進めている。(Ge、Sn)-(Se、S)系をついて主として、ラマン散乱と赤外分光を実験手段としている。この系は広い組成領域で、過冷却状態を経て、ガラス状態に凍結する。組成、圧力、温度を変えて振動スペクトルを調べ、Phillips-Thorpeの拘束理論に基づく硬さのパーコレーション転移の臨界組成で振動スペクトルの異常をはじめて観測した。 ・ガラス-過冷却液体転移、再結晶過程をラマン散乱スペクトルにより研究し、非平衡相図を求め、臨界組成で再結晶化が急に生ずることを見出し、ナノ構造の自己組織化を提唱した。 ・低波数域のラマン散乱スペクトルで、フラクトンのふるまいを見出し、ネットワークの次元性と硬さのパーコレーション、フラジリティーに関する新しい発展をもたらした。 ・ガラス構造を知るために、結晶GeSe_2の電子状態と振動スペクトルと比較した結果、ガラスの基本骨格は結晶構造のフラグメントであり、ガラス内の化学秩序の破れとナイ構造相分離が光誘起構造変化と光誘起結晶化で重要な役割を演ずることをつきとめた。

    物質の準安定状態であるガラス状態は、通常、熱的な励起により、安定な結晶状態に移行する。アモルファスカルコゲナイド半導体ではこの転移を光照射によって起こすことができる。光には偏光方向の自由度があるので、このような構造変化にかかわる特徴的な方向(例えば結晶軸)を励起光の偏向方向によって制御できる可能性がある。本研究では、光誘起構造変化現象における光励起状態の緩和過程の果たす役割について調べる。 アモルファスカルコゲナイド半導体における、光励起直後の電子励起状態の緩和過程を調べることを目指して。フェムト秒光パルスを用いたポンププローブ超高速過渡的反射率変化測定装置を組み立てた。この測定装置に用いる新しい共通パス型の干渉計を開発した。本装置により試料のピコ秒時間領域の反射率変化および表面変位を検出することができる。 装置の評価のためにアモルファスSi薄膜についての測定を行った。結果を定量的に理解するために、薄膜試料内での熱伝搬、超音波伝搬、電子格子相互作用を考慮したモデルの構築を行った。また、等方的なアモルファス物質中に光によって誘起される非等方的な誘電率変化を検出するための実験配置について詳しい検討を行った。

    Se, SなどのVI族元素を含むアモルファスカルコゲナイド半導体では、光黒化、光退色、光結晶化などの様々な光誘起構造変化現象がみられる。これらの現象は、光によって励起された電子が緩和する際に、強い電子-格子相互作用を介して大きな格子の変形を引き起こすことによって起こると考えられる。アモルファス物質が熱平衡状態にないということも、構造変化現象を考える上で重要である。このような構造変化には、物質中に2配位で組み込まれているカルコゲン原子が大きく関与していると考えられるが、その詳細はまだ明らかでない。特に、励起電子がどのように緩和するのかという点についての、基本的かつ具体的な理解が不足している。 典型的なカルコゲナイド半導体である結晶GeSe_2およびGeSe_2ガラスについて、その励起電子緩和過程についての知見を得るために、フォトルミネッセンスの時間分解測定を行った。これらはいずれも可視域(約2.2〜2.7eV)にバンドギャップを持つが、バンドギャップ程度のエネルギーを持つ光で励起すると近赤外域(約1eV)に幅の広いガウシアン型のルミネッセンススペクトルを示す。この大きなストークスシフトは、この系の強い電子格子相互作用に起因する。連続発振レーザー光を光音響変調素子を用いて適当な周期の断続光にしてルミネッセンスの励起に用い、励起光遮断直後からのルミネッセンスの減衰を数100nsecから数msecの範囲にわたって調べた。両者のルミネッセンススペクトルには類似する点が多く、その発光の始状態はいずれも強く局在していると考えられる。ガラスGeSe_2では、減衰が拡張指数型であるのに対し、結晶GeSe_2では単一指数関数型である。乱れのある系での拡張指数型減衰は、ガラスの発光がエネルギー分布を持つ多数の発光中心に起因するためと考えられる。
