摘要/Abstract

摘要： Exploring advanced techniques capable of probing nanometric acoustic waves in nanostructures is critically important for the development of miniaturized acoustic devices. In this study, we probe the optically-excited acoustic waves in a single silicon nanowire (NW) using the time-resolved (tr-) high-order Laue-zone (HOLZ) lines under convergent-beam electron diffraction (CBED) conditions in an ultrafast transmission electron microscope (UTEM). We devise an experimental scheme to obtain tr-HOLZ lines under off-zone-axis CBED conditions. We also propose a geometric description of HOLZ line formation and use this alternative description to quantitatively evaluate the dynamics of optically-excited silicon NW. Using part of the deformation gradient tensor, our simulations of the dynamics of Si NW reproduce the experimental results. We further discuss the feasibility of a full retrieval of the deformation gradient tensor by using a set of HOLZ lines from three zone axes. Our findings illustrate a strategy for the quantitative access to dynamical acoustic waves optically excited in micro- and nano-structures using UTEM.
