Abstract

Ultrafast transient reflectivity changes caused by collective and single particle excitations in the quasi one-dimensional charge-density wave (CDW) semiconductor K0.3MoO3 are investigated with optical pump-probe spectroscopy. The temperature-dependence of non-equilibrium single particle excitations across the CDW gap and their recombination dynamics are reported for the first time. In addition, amplitude mode reflectivity oscillations are observed in real time. A T-dependent overdamped response is also observed which is attributed to relaxation of the phason mode.
