Structural Dynamics in Nanostructured Systems Probed by Ultrafast Transmission Electron Microscopy — •Nora Bach1, Armin Feist2, Marcel Möller2, Claus Ropers2, and Sascha Schäfer1 — 1Institute for Physics, University of Oldenburg, Germany — 24th Physical Institute - Solids and Nanostructures, University of Göttingen, Germany
A successful approach to investigate ultrafast nanoscale structural dynamics and to disentangle different excitation mechanisms in spatially inhomogeneous systems is based on local diffractive probing with nano-focussed femtosecond electron pulses in an ultrafast transmission electron microscope (UTEM).
Employing the advanced electron pulse properties of the Göttingen UTEM [1,2] in ultrafast convergent electron beam diffraction (U-CBED) mode [3], we study local dynamics in a multi-component model system consisting of a metal-/semiconductor hybrid structure. Ultrashort optical excitation of platinum stripes on a silicon membrane results in the generation of hot electrons and their subsequent coupling with the underlying silicon substrate. Pronounced lattice distortions are quantitatively tracked by U-CBED, and experimental results are compared to finite element simulations in order to provide deeper insights into local couplings and the efficiency of electronic and phononic transport channels across interfaces.
