![]() | Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Picosecond optical generation and detection of phonon waves in a-As2Te3 | Using the pump and probe technique we have observed oscillations of photoinduced transmission in thin films of a-As2Te3. The oscillations have periods of 70-240 ps, depending on sample thickness. We ascribe these to phonon propagation in the films. Thermal expansion and carrier deformation potenti... | Picosecond optical generation; a-As2Te3; Pump and probe technique | 1984 |

![]() | Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Ultrafast electronic and acoustic effects in conducting polymers | The polarized picosecond pump and probe technique with 50 fsec resolution has been used to generate and detect electronic excitations and propagation of ultrasonic phonons in thin films of oriented and unoriented polyacetylene and polythiophene. We found that the photoexcitations are instantaneou... | Ultrafast electronic effects; Ultrafast acoustic effects; Polarized picosecond pump; Pump and probe technique; Ultrasonic phonons | 1990 |

![]() | Vardeny, Zeev Valentine | Coherent phonon generation and detection by picosecond light pulses | Using the picosecond pump and probe technique we have detected oscillations of photoinduced transmission and reflection in thin films of α-As2Te3 and cis-polyacetylene. These oscillations are due to the generation and propagation of coherent acoustic phonons in the film. We discuss the generation ... | a-As2Te3; Cis-polyacetylene; Pump and probe technique | 1984-09 |
