摘要: The dynamics of strongly driven phase transitions at surfaces are studied by ultra-fast time-resolved reflection high energy electron diffraction. excited an intense fs-laser pulse (pump) and probed ultra-short with variable time delay. order-disorder transition from a c(4×2) to (2×1) the bare Si(001) surface shows transient decrease intensity spots which recovers on scale few hundred picoseconds indicating excitation transition. On Si(111) monolayer Indium induces (4×1) reconstruction undergoes Peierls like (8ד2”) below 100 K. Upon laser temperature 40 K was driven. (8ד2”)-diffraction instantaneously disappears, while (4×1)-spots increases. This increase spot excludes explanation Debye-Waller-Effect is evidence for true structural surface.
