Transient dielectric function dynamics driven by coherent phonons in Bismuth crystal by Boschetto Davide, Morineau Denis

“…In this state, the dielectric function deviates significantly from the values expected for the liquid phase, indicating that no phase transition occurs, even though the calculated lattice temperature exceeds the melting point of bismuth. To probe the nature of this quasi-steady state, we compare the transient dielectric function to equilibrium ellipsometry measurements taken at various temperatures, ranging from room temperature to temperatures approaching the melting point. …”
