Nonequilibrium Charge-Density-Wave Order Beyond the Thermal Limit
J. Maklar, Y. W. Windsor, C. W. Nicholson +17
The interaction of many-body systems with intense light pulses may lead to novel emergent phenomena far from equilibrium. Recent discoveries, such as the optical enhancement of the…
Ultrafast relaxation dynamics of the antiferrodistortive phase in Ca doped SrTiO3
M. Porer, M. Fechner, E. Bothschafter +19
The ultrafast dynamics of the octahedral rotation in Ca:SrTiO3 is studied by time resolved x-ray diffraction after photo excitation over the band gap. By monitoring the diffraction…
Watching the birth of a charge density wave order: diffraction study on nanometer-and picosecond-scales
C. Laulhé, T. Huber, G. Lantz +18
Femtosecond time-resolved X-ray diffraction is used to study a photo-induced phase transition between two charge density wave (CDW) states in 1T-TaS, namely the nearly commensu…
Coordination-driven magnetic-to-nonmagnetic transition in manganese doped silicon clusters
V. Zamudio-Bayer, L. Leppert, K. Hirsch +10
The interaction of a single manganese impurity with silicon is analyzed in a combined experimental and theoretical study of the electronic, magnetic, and structural properties of m…
Domain size effects on the dynamics of a charge density wave in 1T-TaS2
G. Lantz, C. Laulhé, S. Ravy +11
Recent experiments have shown that the high temperature incommensurate (I) charge density wave (CDW) phase of 1T-TaS2 can be photoinduced from the lower temperature, nearly commens…
Optical control of vibrational coherence triggered by an ultrafast phase transition
M. J. Neugebauer, T. Huber, M. Savoini +13
Femtosecond time-resolved x-ray diffraction is employed to study the dynamics of the periodic lattice distortion (PLD) associated with the charge-density-wave (CDW) in K0.3MoO3. Us…
