Ultrafast Electron Diffraction on nano-crystalline Graphene — •Silvio Morgenstern, Christian Gerbig, Marlene Adrian, Cristian Sarpe, Arne Senftleben, and Thomas Baumert — Universität Kassel, Institut für Physik und CINSaT, D - 34132 Kassel, Germany

In carbon layered materials the electronic subsystem, stimulated by high currents or optical excitations, is strongly coupled to a small set of optical phonons which limits the ballistic conductance. A detailed understanding of phonon decay mechanism is thus essential in improving the performance of carbon based future devices [1,2]. Time-resolved diffracton experiments using x-rays or electrons probes, has become a promising technique to directly provide insights into fundamental dynamics in solids at the microscopic level and on the pico- to subpicosecond timescale [3,4]. In this contribution we present results on photo-induced structural dynamics in single layer nano-crystalline graphene [5] obtained whit our compact and well characterized Ultrafast Electron Diffractometer [6] and discuss the influence of the main strutural properties for our results[7].
