摘要
Coherent longitudinal optical and acoustic phonons in GaP Schottky diode are impulsively generated and detected with time-resolved second-harmonic generation. A coherent longitudinal optical (LO) phonon is launched in the near-surface depletion region of GaP. The dephasing time of this coherent LO phonon is similar to10 ps and mainly due to the anharmonic decay into two zone-edge half-energy longitudinal acoustic (LA) phonons. Simultaneously, a coherent LA wave packet is created in the metal-semiconductor interface via transient thermal absorption in the metal thin layer. This acoustic wave packet propagates into the bulk with the sound velocity similar to5.8x10(5) cm/s of a GaP LA phonon. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
