Popis: Propagation of nonequilibrium acoustic phonons in ZnTe single crystals at helium temperature was studied with phonons being both optically generated and produced by a metal-film heater. Experiments with [110] ZnTe allowed for the detection of the arrival of longitudinal and transverse acoustic phonons, which are particularly well resolved when generated by a heated metal film. A bolometer also detected emission of ZnTe material with a time constant τ ∼ 90 ns, which can apparently be attributed to the luminescence of oxygen complexes, because the lifetimes of other complexes and bound excitons are substantially shorter.
