Time-resolved reflectivity studies of in BaNi2As2, a non-magnetic analogue of the parent compound of a pnictide superconductor BaFe2As2, reveal the existence of several charge-density-wave (CDW) amplitude modes[1], as in prototype CDW systems[2]. Their temperature and excitation density dependence suggest the charge-order driven nematicity in BaNi2As2 and support the idea of orthorhombic-triclinic structural symmetry phase transition being mediated by the stabilization of the CDW order[1]. We extend our studies to cover a large range in P-substituted BaNi2(As1−xPx)2[3]. Beyond the triclinic critical point (x 0.07), where also six-fold enhancement of superconducting Tc is observed[3], only two strongly damped sub-THz amplitude modes are resolved. The fact that diffraction and spectroscopic data[3] imply the absence of orthorombic distortions in samples beyond x 0.07 suggests the changes in the collective mode spectrum may be linked to variation in nematicity.
