Abstract

Coherent phonons excited in a CdTe(111) crystal by 70fs laser irradiation have been investigated by femtosecond time-resolved x-ray diffraction. The longitudinal optical phonon with a frequency of approximately 5THz near the Brillouin zone center has been detected as modulation in intensities of x-ray diffraction. Atomic displacement in the [111] direction in the coherent longitudinal optical phonon has been estimated.
