Persistent Photo-Enhancement of Molecular Orbital Excitations in the Kondo Insulator FeSb

Ke-Jun Xu, Nathan Giles-Donovan, Paulina Majchrzak +14

When insulators are excited by photons with above-gap energies, photo-doped carriers are transiently generated. Typically, orbital excitations weaken and broaden due to increased s…

Selective coupling of high-order phonons in La2-xSrxCuO4

Ke-Jun Xu, Paulina Majchrzak, Nathan Giles-Donovan +14

In crystals and molecules with strong coupling between the charge carriers and atomic vibrations, high order harmonics of the vibrational excitations can be observed with intensity…

Spectroscopic evidence for a molecular orbital Kondo insulator

Ke-Jun Xu, Kuan H. Hsu, Nathan Giles-Donovan +13

A Kondo insulator (KI) is a prototypical example of a highly entangled phase of matter, where many-body interactions between local moments and delocalized electrons engender the no…

Strongly-coupled hybrid lattice-plasmons in layered cuprates

Ke-Jun Xu, Nathan Giles-Donovan, Stefano Agrestini +11

Metallic systems with delocalized valence electrons host collective charge density oscillations known as plasmons. On the other hand, conventional insulators do not have free elect…
