Landau Theory for Non-Symmetry-Breaking Electronic Instability Coupled to Symmetry-Breaking Applied to Prussian Blue Analogue
Giovanni Azzolina, Roman Bertoni, Claude Ecolivet +3
Different types of ordering phenomena may occur during phase transitions, described within the universal framework of the Landau theory through the evolution of one, or several, sy…
Strain Wave Pathway to Semiconductor-to-Metal Transition revealed by time resolved X-ray powder diffraction
C. Mariette, M. Lorenc, H. Cailleau +42
Thanks to the remarkable developments of ultrafast science, one of today's challenges is to modify material state by controlling with a light pulse the coherent motions that connec…
Lattice phonon modes of the spin crossover crystal [Fe(phen)2(NCS)2] studied by THz, IR, Raman spectroscopies and DFT calculations
Eric Collet, Giovanni Azzolina, Tomoaki Ichii +9
[Fe(phen)2(NCS)2] is a prototype transition metal complex material, which undergoes a phase transition between low-spin (LS) and high-spin (HS) phases, induced by temperature, pres…
Ultrafast heat flow in heterostructures of Au nanoclusters on thin-films: atomic-disorder induced by hot electrons
Thomas Vasileiadis, Lutz Waldecker, Dawn Foster +5
We study the ultrafast structural dynamics, in response to electronic excitations, in heterostructures composed of Au nanoclusters on thin-film substrates with the use of f…
