Recent theories and experiments have suggested hydrodynamic phonon transport features in graphite at unusually high temperatures. Here, we report a picosecond pump-probe thermal reflectance measurement of heat-pulse propagation in graphite. The measurement results reveal transient lattice cooling near the adiabatic center of a 15-μm-diameter ring-shape pump beam at temperatures between 80 and 120 K. While such lattice cooling has not been reported in recent diffraction measurements of second sound in graphite, the observation here is consistent with both hydrodynamic phonon transport theory and prior heat-pulse measurements of second sound in bulk sodium fluoride.
