Structural pathways for ultrafast melting of optically excited thin polycrystalline Palladium films
Jerzy Antonowicz, Adam Olczak, Klaus Sokolowski-Tinten +28
Due to its extremely short timescale, the non-equilibrium melting of metals is exceptionally difficult to probe experimentally. The knowledge of melting mechanisms is thus based ma…
Photo-induced plasmon-phonon coupling in PbTe
M. P. Jiang, M. Trigo, S. Fahy +19
We report the observation of photo-induced plasmon-phonon coupled modes in the group IV-VI semiconductor PbTe using Fourier-transform inelastic X-ray scattering at the Linac Cohere…
Ultrafast terahertz-field-driven ionic response in ferroelectric BaTiO
F. Chen, Y. Zhu, S. Liu +31
The dynamical processes associated with electric field manipulation of the polarization in a ferroelectric remain largely unknown but fundamentally determine the speed and function…
Picosecond electric-field-induced threshold switching in phase-change materials
Peter Zalden, Michael J. Shu, Frank Chen +16
Many chalcogenide glasses undergo a breakdown in electronic resistance above a critical field strength. Known as threshold switching, this mechanism enables field-induced crystalli…
Photoinduced suppression of the ferroelectric instability in PbTe
M. P. Jiang, M. Trigo, S. Fahy +18
The interactions between electrons and phonons drive a large array of technologically relevant material properties including ferroelectricity, thermoelectricity, and phase-change b…
