- Abstract
- Microscale energy transport processes are crucial in microelectronics, energy-harvesting devices, and emerging quantum materials. To study these processes, methods that can probe transport with conveniently tunable length scales are highly desirable. Transient grating spectroscopy (TGS) is such a tool that can monitor microscale energy transport processes associated with various fundamental energy carriers including electrons, phonons, and spins. Having been developed and applied for a long time in the chemistry community, TGS has regained popularity recently in studying different transport regimes in solid-state materials. In this Tutorial, we provide an in-depth discussion of the operational principle and instrumentation details of a modern heterodyne TGS configuration from a practitioner's point of view. We further review recent applications of TGS in characterizing microscale transport of heat, charge, spin, and acoustic waves, with an emphasis on thermal transport.
