Abstract [en]

A semiconductor (InSb) showed transient metal- like heat conduction after excitation of a dense electron- hole plasma via short and intense light pulses. A related ultrafast strain relaxation was detected using picosecond time-resolved x-ray diffraction. The deduced heat conduction was, by a factor of 30, larger than the lattice contribution. The anomalously high heat conduction can be explained once the contribution from the degenerate photocarrier plasma is taken into account. The magnitude of the effect could provide the means for guiding heat in semiconductor nanostructures. In the course of this work, a quantitative model for the carrier dynamics in laser-irradiated semiconductors has been developed, which does not rely on any adjustable parameters or ad hoc assumptions. The model includes various light absorption processes (interband, free carrier, two photon, and dynamical Burstein- Moss shifts), ambipolar diffusion, energy transport (heat and chemical potential), electrothermal effects, Auger recombination, collisional excitation, and scattering (elastic and inelastic). The model accounts for arbitrary degrees of degeneracy.

Abstract [sv]

Denna avhandling sammanfattar arbete där tidsupplöst röntgendiffraktion har använts för att undersöka kristallina material och studera dynamiken hos fononer och fasövergångar.Röntgendiffraktion är standardverktyget för stukturbestämning på en atomär skala. Det har använts länge och har framgångsrikt hjälp vetenskapsmän att bestämma strukturen hos en stor mängd material. Användningen av ultrasnabb tidsupplöst röntgendiffration är ett starkt växande område som fortfarande utvecklas.Akustiska impulser, eller koherenta akustiska fononer, har studerats med hjälp av optiska tekniker i åtminstonde två årtionden. Optiska pulser kan dock endast underöka en halvledares yta. Röntgen penetrerar djupare in i proven och kan följa fononer då de färdas in i proven.Realtidsstudier av fasövergångar har också utförts med hjälp av optiska metoder. Dessa mätningar är indirekta då de mäter ändringar i susceptibiliteten hos provet istället för atomernas positioner. Återigen kan tidsupplöst röntgendiffraktion ge en ny insyn i området genom att den gör en direkt mätning av de strukturella ändringarna.Den här avhandlingen fokuserar huvudsaklingen på experimentellt arbete där tidsupplöst röntgendiffraktion använts för att studera fononer eller prover som genomgår en fasövergång. En kort teoretisk bakgrund finns med, liksom en beskrivning av D611, ett synkrotronljusstrålrör för tidsupplöst röntgendiffraktion som utvecklats under arbetet med den här avhandlingen.

Abstract [en]

This thesis summarizes work in which time-resolved X-ray diffraction has been used to probe crystalline materials, thereby revealing the dynamics of phonons and phase transitions.X-ray diffraction is the standard tool in investigations of structure on the atomic scale. It has been used for a long time, and has successfully helped scientists to find the structure of a wide range of materials. The use of ultrafast time-resolved X-ray diffraction is a strongly emerging field which is still under development.Impulsive strain pulses, or coherent acoustic phonons, have been probed using optical techniques for at least two decades. Yet, optical pulses can only probe the surface of a semiconductor. X-rays penetrate deeper and can follow the phonons as they propagate into the sample.Real time studies of phase transitions have also been conducted using optical methods. These measurements are indirect in the sense that they probe the susceptibility change of the sample rather than the positions of the atoms. Again, time-resolved X-ray diffraction can give new insights into the field by probing the structural changes directly.This thesis focuses mainly on experimental work in which time-resolved X-ray diffraction has been used to probe phonons or samples undergoing phase transitions. A brief theoretical background will also be given, as well as a description of beamline D611 at MAX-lab, a synchrotron beamline for time-resolved X-ray diffraction measurements which has been developed during the work for this thesis.
