The Discovery of Tunable Universality Class in Superconducting -W Thin Films
Ce Huang, Enze Zhang, Yong Zhang +16
The interplay between quenched disorder and critical behavior in quantum phase transitions is conceptually fascinating and of fundamental importance for understanding phase transit…
Deep-Learning-Enabled Fast Optical Identification and Characterization of Two-Dimensional Materials
Bingnan Han, Yuxuan Lin, Yafang Yang +22
Advanced microscopy and/or spectroscopy tools play indispensable role in nanoscience and nanotechnology research, as it provides rich information about the growth mechanism, chemic…
Light-Induced Charge Density Wave in LaTe
Anshul Kogar, Alfred Zong, Pavel E. Dolgirev +18
When electrons in a solid are excited with light, they can alter the free energy landscape and access phases of matter that are beyond reach in thermal equilibrium. This accessibil…
Dynamical slowing down in an ultrafast photo-induced phase transition
Alfred Zong, Pavel E. Dolgirev, Anshul Kogar +20
Complex systems, which consist of a large number of interacting constituents, often exhibit universal behavior near a phase transition. A slowdown of certain dynamical observables…
Disentangling amplitude and phase dynamics of a charge density wave in a photo-induced phase transition
Alfred Zong, Anshul Kogar, Ya-Qing Bie +16
Upon excitation with an intense ultrafast laser pulse, a symmetry-broken ground state can undergo a non-equilibrium phase transition through pathways dissimilar from those in therm…
