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.…
Coherent spin waves in a maximal entropy phase
Arnau Romaguera, Eugenio Paris, Elizabeth Skoropata +24
In solids, disorder is conventionally regarded as detrimental to coherence. It typically localizes and dampens collective excitations, as exemplified by Anderson localization or th…
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…
A light-induced charge order mode in a metastable cuprate ladder
Hari Padma, Prakash Sharma, Sophia F. R. TenHuisen +17
We report the observation of an emergent charge order mode in the optically-excited cuprate ladder SrCuO. Near-infrared light in the ladder plane drives a symm…
