Mechanisms of electron-phonon coupling unraveled in momentum and time: The case of soft phonons in TiSe(2)
The complex coupling between charge carriers and phonons is responsible for diverse phenomena in condensed matter. We apply ultrafast electron diffuse scattering to unravel electron-phonon coupling phenomena in 1T-TiSe(2) in both momentum and time. We are able to distinguish effects due to the real...

description | The complex coupling between charge carriers and phonons is responsible for diverse phenomena in condensed matter. We apply ultrafast electron diffuse scattering to unravel electron-phonon coupling phenomena in 1T-TiSe(2) in both momentum and time. We are able to distinguish effects due to the real part of the many-body bare electronic susceptibility, [Formula: see text] , from those due to the electron-phonon coupling vertex, g(q), by following the response of semimetallic (normal-phase) 1T-TiSe(2) to the selective photo-doping of carriers into the electron pocket at the Fermi level. Quasi-impulsive and wave vector–specific renormalization of soft zone-boundary phonon frequencies (stiffening) is observed, followed by wave vector–independent electron-phonon equilibration. These results unravel the underlying mechanisms driving the phonon softening that is associated with the charge density wave transition at lower temperatures. |
