%0 Conference Paper %D 2003 %T Ultrafast Lattice-Bonding Dynamics of Tellurium %A C. A. D. Roeser %A A. M.-T. Kim %A Mazur, E. %K DC %K Washington %X A pump-probe technique measuring the dielectric function is presented and applied to the ultrafast dynamics of coherent phonons in Te. Oscillations in the bonding-antibonding splitting are revealed, allowing for THz modulation of a semiconductor-semimetal transition. %I Ultrafast Electronics and Optoelectronics %G eng %U /files/mazur/files/rep_167.pdf
