Collective Magnetic Excitations in a Photo-excited Electron-doped Cuprate Superconductor
Daniel Jost, Jiarui Li, Jordyn Hales +21
Elucidating the microscopic behavior of cuprates under ultrafast photoexcitation offers critical insights into their highly correlated out-of-equilibrium states. Although quasipart…
Ultrafast decoupling of polarization and strain in ferroelectric BaTiO
Le Phuong Hoang, David Pesquera, Gerard N. Hinsley +20
A fundamental understanding of the interplay between lattice structure, polarization and electrons is pivotal to the optical control of ferroelectrics. The interaction between ligh…
Transient non-collinear magnetic state for all-optical magnetization switching
Sergii Parchenko, Antoni Frej, Hiroki Ueda +12
Resonant absorption of a photon by bound electrons in a solid can promote an electron to another orbital state or transfer it to a neighboring atomic site. Such a transition in a m…
Non-equilibrium self-assembly of spin-wave solitons in FePt nanoparticles
D. Turenne, A. Yaroslavtsev, X. Wang +36
Magnetic nanoparticles such as FePt in the L10-phase are the bedrock of our current data storage technology. As the grains become smaller to keep up with technological demands, the…
Ultrafast X-Ray Induced Changes of the Electronic and Magnetic Response of Solids Due to Valence Electron Redistribution
Daniel J. Higley, Alex H. Reid, Zhao Chen +13
We report a novel mechanism, consisting of redistribution of valence electrons near the Fermi level, during interactions of intense femtosecond X-ray pulses with a Co/Pd multilayer…
