Temperature-dependent ultrafast carrier and phonon dynamics of topological insulator Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.8Se1.2
Using ultrafast optical pump-probe technique, we studied the temperature-dependent carrier and phonon dynamics of the topological insulator Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.8Se1.2 single-crystal from 10 K to 300 K. Two relaxation processes of carriers and coherent optical/acoustic phonons have been observed. By using...

| description | Using ultrafast optical pump-probe technique, we studied the temperature-dependent carrier and phonon dynamics of the topological insulator Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.8Se1.2 single-crystal from 10 K to 300 K. Two relaxation processes of carriers and coherent optical/acoustic phonons have been observed. By using the two-temperature model, we are able to attribute the fast (∼ps) relaxation component to carrier-phonon coupling involving carriers in the conduction band. We also studied the temperature dependence of the dephasing time and frequency of optical phonon, and the optical penetration depth of Bi1.5Sb0.5Te1.8Se1.2. |
