Abstract
The rapid growth of attention to tin sulfide (SnS) is due to its efficient application in the field of thermoelectricity, and its doping product SnS0.91Se0.09 can obtain a high average thermoelectric figure of merit (ZTave≈ 1.25). Although many efforts have been made to reveal the mechanisms associated with electron transport and heat conduction, the role of lattice vibration remains poorly understood. Here, we studied the coherent vibration dynamics in SnS0.91Se0.09 bulk single crystal by using the femtosecond two-color pump-probe optical reflectivity technique. The oscillation signal in the time domain of SnS0.91Se0.09 is considered to be an electron–phonon interaction. The coherent dynamics of longitudinal acoustic phonons in this coupling behavior is closely related to probe polarization and excitation power. The stability of oscillation frequency reveals the microscopic mechanism of phonon conduction, and further understands the lattice nonharmonic caused by electron–phonon interaction in light-induced.
