Generation of high-frequency strain waves during femtosecond demagnetization of Fe/MgO films
T. Henighan, M. Trigo, S. Bonetti +22
We use femtosecond time-resolved hard x-ray scattering to detect coherent acoustic phonons excited during ultrafast laser demagnetization of bcc Fe films. We determine the lattice…
Beyond a phenomenological description of magnetostriction
A. H. Reid, X. Shen, P. Maldonado +28
We use ultrafast x-ray and electron diffraction to disentangle spin-lattice coupling of granular FePt in the time domain. The reduced dimensionality of single-crystalline FePt nano…
Correlation-driven insulator-metal transition in near-ideal vanadium dioxide films
A. X. Gray, J. Jeong, N. P. Aetukuri +17
We use polarization- and temperature-dependent x-ray absorption spectroscopy, in combination with photoelectron microscopy, x-ray diffraction and electronic transport measurements,…
Ultrafast THz Field Control of Electronic and Structural Interactions in Vanadium Dioxide
A. X. Gray, M. C. Hoffmann, J. Jeong +34
Vanadium dioxide, an archetypal correlated-electron material, undergoes an insulator-metal transition near room temperature that exhibits electron-correlation-driven and structural…
Measurement of collective excitations in VO by resonant inelastic X-ray scattering
Haowei He, A. X. Gray, P. Granitzka +14
Vanadium dioxide is of broad interest as a spin-1/2 electron system that realizes a metal-insulator transition near room temperature, due to a combination of strongly correlated an…
