Ultrafast time resolved electron diffraction has become a promising technique because of its higher temporal and atomic scale spatial resolution and allow to study the ultrafast phenomena occurring in the atomic structure of matter with ultrafast precision.
We report here the application of ultrafast electron diffraction to study the dynamical processes in single crystalline graphite in order to understand the effect of phonon generation and decay mechanism which is being essential for future carbon based electron devices.
With our highly compact setup we are able to achieve excellent spatial- temporal resolution with coherence length >8nm and electron pulse duration <200 fs. We further present generation and decay processes of incoherent as well as coherent phonons in graphite as a function of film thickness down to few-layer graphene.
