Femtosecond transmission electron diffraction on single crystalline graphite — •Christian Gerbig, Silvio Morgenstern, Vanessa Sporleder, Cristian Sarpe, Matthias Wollenhaupt, and Thomas Baumert — Universität Kassel, Institut für Physik und Center of Interdisciplinary Nanostructure Science and Technology (CINSaT), D-34132 Kassel, Germany

We use a self-referencing highly compact femtosecond transmission electron diffractometer [1,2] to study the evolution of strongly coupled optical phonons and lattice phonon thermalization [3] in single crystalline graphite [4] after ultrashort laser excitation.
