Résumé

Enabling the light control of complex systems on ultrashort timescales gives rise to rich physics with promising applications. Although crucial, the quantitative determination of both the longitudinal and the shear photoinduced strains still remains challenging. Here, by scrutinizing asymmetric Bragg peaks pairs (±h01) in BiFeO3 using picosecond time-resolved x-ray diffraction experiments, we simultaneously determine the longitudinal and shear strains. Importantly, we reveal a difference in the dynamical response of the longitudinal strain with respect to the shear one due to an interplay of quasilongitudinal and quasitransverse acoustic modes, well reproduced by our model. Finally, we show that the relative amplitude of those strains can be explained only if both thermal and nonthermal processes contribute to the acoustic phonon photogeneration process.
