Anisotropy of Ultrafast Strain in $V_2{O}_3$ Thin Films: Out-of-Equilibrium Phase Transitions under Interfacial Clamping

J. Guzman-Brambila, R. Mandal, D. Lea +9

Ultrafast photoinduced insulator-to-metal transitions in correlated materials are often mediated by lattice distortions, yet the role of interfacial lattice constraints in shaping…
