Ultrafast scattering dynamics of coherent phonons in Bi1−x Sb x in the Weyl semimetal phase

We investigate ultrafast phonon dynamics in the Bi _1− _x Sb _x alloy system for various compositions x using a reflective femtosecond pump-probe technique. The coherent optical phonons corresponding to the A _1 _g local vibrational modes of Bi–Bi, Bi–Sb, and Sb–Sb are generated and observed in the...
