Description

TbTe3 is a model system that exhibits a two dimensional incommensurate charge density wave state due to the Fermi surface nesting. Ultrafast pump-probe dynamics of the CDW state in such system has attracted significant interest in the field. Although coherent phonon mode and the amplitude mode, a collective excitation of the CDW sate, has been observed by time-resolved pump-probed reflectivity and ARPES measurements, direct observation of the CDW state through ultrafast x-ray diffraction is not yet available. Using the ultrafast XFEL pulse, we performed resonant diffraction experiment on the TbTe3 to monitor the ultrafast response of the CDW diffraction peak. Results and comparison with the information obtained by time-resolved ARPES will be discussed.
