Delamination-assisted ultrafast wrinkle formation in a freestanding film
Yifan Su, Alfred Zong, Anshul Kogar +6
The ability to synthesize and control two-dimensional (2D) crystals creates numerous opportunities for studying emergent states of matter and their novel functionalities. Freestand…
Dynamical criticality of spin-shear coupling in van der Waals antiferromagnets
Faran Zhou, Kyle Hwangbo, Qi Zhang +15
The interplay between a multitude of electronic, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom underlies the complex phase diagrams of quantum materials. Layer stacking in van der Waals (vd…
Ultrafast formation of topological defects in a 2D charge density wave
Yun Cheng, Alfred Zong, Lijun Wu +13
Topological defects play a key role in nonequilibrium phase transitions, ranging from birth of the early universe to quantum critical behavior of ultracold atoms. In solids, transi…
Dynamics of topological defects after a photo-induced melting of a charge-density wave
Andrei E. Tarkhov, A. V. Rozhkov, Alfred Zong +3
Charge-density-wave order in a solid can be temporarily "melted" by a strong laser pulse. Here we use the discrete Gross-Pitaevskii equation on a cubic lattice to simulate the reco…
Light-induced dimension crossover in 1T-TiSe dictated by excitonic correlations
Yun Cheng, Alfred Zong, Jun Li +18
In low-dimensional systems with strong electronic correlations, the application of an ultrashort laser pulse often yields novel phases that are otherwise inaccessible. The central…
