Figure 1. Absorption spectrum of TTF-TCNQ films above and below the MIT, from Ref. [3]. The narrow frequency band of the sliding-CDW conductivity at the low-frequency end from zero up to about 10 cm -1 is not resolved.
Abstract-Weperform optical-pump/THz-probe measurements on TTF-TCNQ films in the metallic state to study the picosecond conductivity dynamics. The data suggest chargedensity-wave formation on a time scale of 10 ps following an ultrafast thermalization process.Pump/probe THz Spectroscopy of the Conductivity of TTF-TCNQ Films T Figure 2. Transmission change at the peak of the THz pulse as a function of time delay relative to the pump pulse.
