Quantifying angular momentum of coherently driven circular phonons
Roman Mankowsky, Serhane Zerdane, Shih-Wen Huang +9
The use of intense terahertz (THz) pulses to manipulate low-energy excitations offers a powerful approach for ultrafast control of electronic and magnetic properties in materials.…
THz-induced phonon mode mixing and collective dynamics in a polar nanolattice
Elizabeth Skoropata, Peter M. Derlet, Hiroki Ueda +13
Manipulating phonons through symmetry is a fundamental approach to alter the dynamic responses of materials. Most often new phases are sought through control of the unit-cell (e.g.…
Low energy excitations in A-site ordered SmBaMn2O6
Mirian Garcia Fernandez, Abhishek Nag, Stefano Agrestini +5
The electron in a solid can be considered a bound state of the three independent, fundamental degrees of freedom creating quasi-particles: spinons, carrying the electron spin; plas…
Hierarchical quasiparticle dynamics in antiferromagnets revealed by time- and momentum-resolved X-ray scattering
Arnau Romaguera, Elizabeth Skoropata, Yun Yen +18
Energy flows among coupled subsystems are essential for ultrafast dynamics and high-speed technologies. In magnetic materials, spin fluctuations -- magnons -- mediate these flows i…
Ultrafast Decoherence of Charge Density Waves in KMoO
Rafael T. Winkler, Larissa Boie, Yunpei Deng +20
Recent works have suggested that transient suppression of a charge density wave (CDW) by an ultra-short excitation can lead to an inversion of the CDW phase. We experimentally inve…
