Nonlinear Meissner effect in Nb3Sn coplanar resonators

J. Makita, C. Sundahl, G. Ciovati +2

We investigated the nonlinear Meissner effect (NLME) in NbSn thin film coplanar resonators by measuring the resonance frequency as a function of a parallel magnetic field at di…

Ultrafast generation and detection of propagating coherent acoustic phonon wave packets in ultra-thin iron pnictide films

D. Cheng, B. Song, J. H. Kang +9

We observe pronounced oscillations in differential reflectivity of 9 nm and 60 nm BaFe\textsubscript{2}As\textsubscript{2} (Ba-122) thin films using ultrafast optical spectroscopy.…

Light Quantum Control of Persisting Higgs Modes in Iron-Based Superconductors

C. Vaswani, J. H. Kang, M. Mootz +12

The Higgs mechanism, i.e., spontaneous symmetry breaking of the quantum vacuum, is a cross-disciplinary principle, universal for understanding dark energy, antimatter and quantum m…

Discovery of Light-induced Metastable Martensitic Anomaly Controlled by Single-Cycle Terahertz Pulses

X. Yang, B. Song, C. Vaswani +9

We report on an ultrafast photoinduced phase transition with a strikingly long-lived Martensitic anomaly driven by above-threshold single-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses in NbSn.…

Superconductivity in Undoped BaFe2As2 by Tetrahedral Geometry Design

J. H. Kang, J. -W. Kim, P. J. Ryan +9

Fe-based superconductors exhibit a diverse interplay between charge, orbital, and magnetic ordering1-4. Variations in atomic geometry affect electron hopping between Fe atoms5,6 an…

Spontaneous Hall Effect enhanced by local Ir moments in epitaxial PrIrO thin films

Lu Guo, Neil Campbell, Yongseong Choi +10

Rare earth pyrochlore Iridates (RE2Ir2O7) consist of two interpenetrating cation sublattices, the RE with highly-frustrated magnetic moments, and the Iridium with extended conducti…

Discovery of Terahertz Second Harmonic Generation from Lightwave Acceleration of Symmetry--Breaking Nonlinear Supercurrents

C. Vaswani, C. Sundahl, M. Mootz +11

We report terahertz (THz) second harmonic generation (SHG) in superconductors (SC) with inversion symmetric equilibrium states that forbid even-order nonlinearities. Such SHG signa…

Competing Orders and Ultrafast Energy Transfer at the Quantum Limit in a NbSn Superconductor Probed by Terahertz Electrodynamics

X. Yang, X. Zhao, C. Vaswani +10

We report the low-energy electrodynamics of a moderately clean A15 superconductor (SC) following ultrafast excitation to understand and manipulate terahertz (THz) quasi--particle (…
