Abstract: | The fully symmetric A1g phonons of bismuth have been investigated at liquid-helium temperature by the coherent control method for various crystal
excitation levels. It has been found that large-amplitude coherent phonons exhibit the “rigidity” of the phase, which is absent
at a small amplitude. The impossibility of changing the phase of phonon oscillations appears at the excitation levels at which
their amplitude relaxation law changes from exponential to power. The modification of the phase properties and relaxation
law of the excitations of the crystal lattice can be understood in terms of the concept of the condensation of phonons, which
occurs with an increase in the crystal excitation level. |
