Separating pairing from quantum phase coherence dynamics above the superconducting transition by femtosecond spectroscopy

Ivan Madan, Toru Kurosawa, Yasunori Toda +4

In classical superconductors an energy gap and phase coherence appear simultaneously with pairing at the transition to the superconducting state. In high-temperature superconductor…

Ultrafast switching to a stable hidden topologically protected quantum state in an electronic crystal

L. Stojchevska, I. Vaskivskyi, T. Mertelj +4

Hidden states of matter with novel and unusual properties may be created if a system out of equilibrium can be induced to follow a trajectory to a state which is inaccessible or do…

Analysis of damping-induced phase flips of plasmonic nanowire modes

Andreas Hohenau, Primoz Kusar, Christian Gruber +1

We launch surface plasmons from one end of a silver nanowire by asymmetric illumination with white light and use plasmon-to-light scattering at the nanowire ends to probe spectrosc…

Incoherent topological defect recombination dynamics in TbTe_3

T. Mertelj, P. Kusar, V. V. Kabanov +2

We study the incoherent recombination of topological defects created during a rapid quench of a charge-density-wave system through the electronic ordering transition. Using a speci…

Real time measurement of the emergence of superconducting order in a high temperature superconductor

I. Madan, P. Kusar, V. V. Baranov +4

Systems which rapidly evolve through symmetry-breaking transitions on timescales comparable to the fluctuation timescale of the single-particle excitations may behave very differen…

Mechanisms of nonthermal destruction of the superconducting state and melting of the charge-density-wave state by femtosecond laser pulses

L. Stojchevska, P. Kusar, T. Mertelj +4

The processes leading to nonthermal condensate vaporization and charge-density wave (CDW) melting with femtosecond laser pulses is systematically investigated in different material…

Coherent dynamics of macroscopic electronic order through a symmetry-breaking transition

R. Yusupov, T. Mertelj, V. V. Kabanov +5

The temporal evolution of systems undergoing symmetry breaking phase transitions (SBTs) is of great fundamental interest not only in condensed matter physics, but extends from cosm…

Controlled vaporization of the superconducting condensate in cuprate superconductors sheds light on the pairing boson

P. Kusar, V. V. Kabanov, S. Sugai +3

We use ultrashort intense laser pulses to study superconducting state vaporization dynamics in La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO4 (x=0.1 and 0.15) on the femtosecond timescale. We find that the ener…
