Non-equilibrium lattice dynamics of one-dimensional In chains on Si(111) upon ultrafast optical excitation

The photoinduced structural dynamics of the atomic wire system on the Si(111)-In surface has been studied by ultrafast electron diffraction in reflection geometry. Upon intense fs-laser excitation, this system can be driven in around 1 ps from the insulating (8×2) reconstructed low temperature phas...
