Ultrafast electron diffraction from a Bi(111) surface: Impulsive lattice excitation and Debye–Waller analysis at large momentum transfer

The lattice response of a Bi(111) surface upon impulsive femtosecond laser excitation is studied with time-resolved reflection high-energy electron diffraction. We employ a Debye–Waller analysis at large momentum transfer of 9.3 Å−1 ≤ Δ k ≤ 21.8 Å−1 in order to study the lattice excitation dynamics...
