Ab initio theory of coherent phonons in semimetals — •Christoph Emeis, Yiming Pan, and Fabio Caruso — Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, 24118 Kiel, Germany

The spectral signatures of coherent phonons in pump-probe experiments can disclose novel insight into electron-phonon interaction and its influence on ultrafast phenomena. We developed an ab initio framework to describe the coherent phonon dynamics in photo-excited semimetals based on the time-dependent Boltzmann equation and its extension [1]. To illustrate the predictive capability of this approach, we investigate the displacive excitation of coherent phonons in Sb and MoTe₂ and discuss its fingerprints in frequency-domain ARPES, a powerful experimental technique to probe coherent phonons and electron-phonon coupling in semimetals [2].
