Machine-learning test of the single-ion model for excitations in cuprates

Maryia Zinouyeva, Leonardo Martinelli, Riccardo Arpaia +12

We investigate excitations in Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering spectra of YBaCuO and LaCuO using the local single-ion model. The data are analyzed by co…

Unveiling the Interplay of Charge and Magnetic Excitations in HgBaCaCuO

Karn Rongrueangkul, Martina Fedele, Leonardo Martinelli +10

Unraveling the mechanism that binds electrons into Cooper pairs in cuprate high-temperature superconductors remains one of the most fundamental challenges in condensed-matter physi…

Electron-phonon coupling revealed by charge density fluctuations in cuprate superconductors

Martina Fedele, Giacomo Merzoni, Marco Moretti Sala +6

Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) governs lattice dynamics, charge transport, and collective electronic phases in quantum materials. In several families of unconventional superconduct…

Evaluating covalency using RIXS spectral weights: Silver fluorides vs. cuprates

Ilya Degtev, Daniel Jezierski, Adrián Gómez Pueyo +9

We investigate the electronic structure of AgF2, AgFBF4, AgF and Ag2O using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Ag L3 edge. XA…

Photo-generated charge-transfer excitons in NiO revealed by ultrafast time-resolved resonant inelastic x-ray scattering

Giacomo Merzoni, Leonardo Martinelli, Sergii Parchenko +32

Strong electronic correlation can lead to insulating behavior and to the opening of large optical gaps, even in materials with partly filled valence shells. Although the non-equili…

Spin excitations in Nd1-xSrxNiO2 and YBa2Cu3O7-delta: the influence of Hubbard U

Francesco Rosa, Leonardo Martinelli, Guillaume Krieger +10

We use Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) to compare the doping dependence of magnetic excitations of an Infinite-Layer nickelate to those of a prototypical superconducting…

Signature of quantum criticality in cuprates by charge density fluctuations

R. Arpaia, L. Martinelli, M. Moretti Sala +17

The universality of the strange metal phase in many quantum materials is often attributed to the presence of a quantum critical point (QCP), a zero-temperature phase transition rul…

Charge and spin order dichotomy in NdNiO driven by SrTiO capping layer

G. Krieger, L. Martinelli, S. Zeng +10

Superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates holds exciting analogies with that of cuprates, with similar structures and -electron count. Using resonant inelastic x-ray scatt…

Fractional spin excitations in the infinite-layer cuprate CaCuO

Leonardo Martinelli, Davide Betto, Kurt Kummer +6

We use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) to investigate the magnetic dynamics of the infinite-layer cuprate CaCuO2. We find that close to the (1/2,0) point the single magn…

Mobile orbitons in CaCuO: crucial role of the Hund's exchange

Roberto Fumagalli, Jonas Heverhagen, Davide Betto +9

We investigate the Cu edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of a quasi-1D antiferromagnet CaCuO. In addition to the magnetic excitations, which are…

Temperature dependence of crystal field excitations in CuO

Simo Huotari, Laura Simonelli, Christoph J. Sahle +3

We report a study on the temperature dependence of the charge-neutral crystal field (dd) excitations in cupric oxide, using nonresonant inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) spectroscop…
