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...
