The anharmonic interaction of phonons determines macroscopic properties of the solid, such as thermal expansion or thermal conductivity, and a detailed understanding becomes increasingly important for functional nanostructures.

We synthesize monochromatic acoustic phonon wave packets with only a few cycles to introduce nonlinear phononics as the acoustic counterpart to nonlinear optics. Control of the wave vector, bandwidth, and consequently spatial extent of the phonon wave packets allows us to observe nonlinear phonon interaction, in particular, second harmonic generation, in real time by wave-vector-sensitive Brillouin scattering with x-rays and optical photons.}, language = {en} } @article{BojahrHerzogMitzscherlingetal.2013, author = {Bojahr, Andre and Herzog, Marc and Mitzscherling, Steffen and Maerten, Lena and Schick, Daniel and Goldshteyn, J. and Leitenberger, Wolfram and Shayduk, R. and Gaal, P. and Bargheer, Matias}, title = {Brillouin scattering of visible and hard X-ray photons from optically synthesized phonon wavepackets}, series = {Optics express : the international electronic journal of optics}, volume = {21}, journal = {Optics express : the international electronic journal of optics}, number = {18}, publisher = {Optical Society of America}, address = {Washington}, issn = {1094-4087}, doi = {10.1364/OE.21.021188}, pages = {21188 -- 21197}, year = {2013}, abstract = {We monitor how destructive interference of undesired phonon frequency components shapes a quasi-monochromatic hypersound wavepacket spectrum during its local real-time preparation by a nanometric transducer and follow the subsequent decay by nonlinear coupling.

Due to the strong binding of thiol group to the gold surface, the molecular configuration of 4-NTP was fixed with NO2 group towards outside. The direct contact of NO2 group with catalytic gold nanostars ensured the reduction reaction went smoothly, which was monitored by SERS spectroscopy. The NO2 vibration Raman band showed a unique blue-shift without any appearance of dimerization product, indicating this catalytic reaction might follow a monomolecular mechanistic pathway.
