SYED 1.2: Invited Talk

Thursday, March 19, 2020, 10:00–10:30, HSZ 01

Unraveling Momentum-Dependent Electron-Phonon Coupling and its Role in the Origin of Charge Density Wave Phases — •Bradley Siwick1,2, Martin Otto1, Jan-Hendrik Pohls1, Laurent Rene de Cotret1, and Mark Sutton11McGill University, Department of Physics, Center for the Physics of Materials, Montreal, Canada — 2McGill University, Department of Chemistry, Montreal, Canada

The nature of the couplings within and between lattice and charge degrees of freedom is central to condensed matter and materials physics. These interactions are essential to phenomena as diverse as superconductivity, charge density waves and carrier mobility in semiconductors and metals. Despite their fundamental role, detailed momentum-dependent information on the strength of electron-phonon coupling (EPC) and phonon-phonon coupling (PPC) across the entire Brillouin zone has proved elusive. This talk will describe a new technique, ultrafast electron diffuse scattering (UEDS), which provides such information. Specific applications of UEDS to 2D materials including graphite, TiSe2 and TaSe2 will be presented. The data demonstrate that UEDS patterns can separate the influence of the electronic susceptibility from the inelastic exchange of energy between the electron and phonon systems due to the technique's profound sensitivity to photoinduced changes to the phonon system. In TiSe2, this confirms key role of excitonic correlations to the phonon softening and CDW mechanism.
