Abstract: | Low-energy phonons in NdBa2Cu3O7?x and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x superconducting single crystals have been studied by Raman scattering and reflectivity measurements with femtosecond-scale resolution. Raman scattering provides information on equilibrium thermal phonons, whereas information about a coherent state of the phonon system is obtained by measuring in the time domain when the phonon system is pumped by an ultrashort pulse and subsequently probed by a properly gated second pulse. It is shown that both methods yield similar results for the phonon mode energies, while the energy relaxation and dephasing rates exhibit a tendency to disagreement. |
