Dynamically suppressed lattice rotations in SrTiO as a basis for photo-induced ferroelectricity

Huaiyu Hugo Wang, Michael Fechner, Giovanni De Vecchi +22

Photo-induced ferroelectricity in the quantum paraelectric SrTiO involves the dynamical interplay between a coherently driven Ti-O stretching vibration and multiple structural…

High-pressure floating zone crystal growth of SrIrO

S. J. Gomez Alvarado, Y. Pang, P. A. Barrera +7

Here we demonstrate the floating zone crystal growth of the Mott insulator SrIrO. Historically, the growth of iridates from a ternary melt has been pre…

A Hubbard exciton fluid in a photo-doped antiferromagnetic Mott insulator

Omar Mehio, Xinwei Li, Honglie Ning +7

The undoped antiferromagnetic Mott insulator naturally has one charge carrier per lattice site. When it is doped with additional carriers, they are unstable to spin fluctuation-med…

Observation of excitons bound by antiferromagnetic correlations

Omar Mehio, Yuchen Han, Xinwei Li +4

Two-dimensional Mott insulators host antiferromagnetic (AFM) correlations that are predicted to enhance the attractive interaction between empty (holons) and doubly occupied (doubl…

3D Heisenberg universality in the Van der Waals antiferromagnet NiPS

Rajan Plumley, Sougata Mardanya, Cheng Peng +20

Van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials are comprised of layers of atomically thin sheets, making them ideal platforms for studying magnetism at the two-dimensional (2D) limit. Thes…
