Fig. 2: Ultrafast electron diffraction study.

a Static electron diffraction pattern at 300 K (LT) phase). b Difference between the diffraction patterns in LT and HT (373 K) phases. The differences near the beam stop are blocked due to bulk motion of the sample. c Photoinduced changes in the diffraction pattern measured at + 2 ps after photoexcitation at 267 nm at 300 K. a–c Color circles show the positions of the selected Bragg peaks. d Kinetic traces of Bragg peak intensity for selected reflections from − 1 to + 4 ps. The solid lines show the results of the global fit to a biexponential decay functions (Supplementary Eq. 2).
