Phonon driven charge dynamics in polycrystalline acetylsalicylic acid mapped by ultrafast x-ray diffraction

The coupled lattice and charge dynamics induced by phonon excitation in polycrystalline acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) are mapped by femtosecond x-ray powder diffraction. The hybrid-mode character of the 0.9 ± 0.1 THz methyl rotation in the aspirin molecules is evident from collective charge relocat...
