Critical slowing of the spin and charge density wave order in thin film Cr following photoexcitation
Sheena K. K. Patel, Oleg Yu. Gorobtsov, Devin Cela +11
We report on the evolution of the charge density wave (CDW) and spin density wave (SDW) order of a chromium film following photoexcitation with an ultrafast optical laser pulse. Th…
Phonon-assisted formation of an itinerant electronic density wave
Jiaruo Li, Oleg Yu. Gorobtsov, Sheena K. K. Patel +13
Electronic instabilities drive ordering transitions in condensed matter. Despite many advances in the microscopic understanding of the ordered states, a more nuanced and profound q…
Non-equilibrium phase precursors to the insulator-metal transition in V2O3
Andrej Singer, Juan Gabriel Ramirez, Ilya Valmianski +11
The discovery of novel phases of matter is at the core of modern physics. In quantum materials, subtle variations in atomic-scale interactions can induce dramatic changes in macros…
Nucleation of dislocations and their dynamics in layered oxides cathode materials during battery charging
A. Singer, S. Hy, M. Zhang +15
Defects and their interactions in crystalline solids often underpin material properties and functionality as they are decisive for stability, result in enhanced diffusion, and act…
