Description
The dynamics of complex materials can be conveniently investigated through pump-probe techniques. Here we present a simple quantum theoretical model that is used to interpret the results of a recently performed pump-probe experiment on Copper Germanate [1]. In this context, in order to study the electron-phonon coupling in the material, lattice vibrations are excited by an infrared pump pulse and d-d electronic transitions are probed with a visible pulse.
