Terahertz Saturable Absorption from Relativistic High-Temperature Thermodynamics in Black Phosphorus

Nidhi Adhlakha, Zeinab Ebrahimpour, Paola Di Pietro +7

Thanks to its tunable infrared band-gap and to its anisotropic conduction properties, black phosphorus represents a very unique 2D material, whose potential in the engineering of n…

Non-adiabatic suppression of 3D excitonic screening in black phosphorus by mid-infrared pulses

Angela Montanaro, Francesca Giusti, Matteo Zanfrognini +10

The competition between the electron-hole Coulomb attraction and the three-dimensional dielectric screening dictates the optical properties of layered semiconductors. In low-dimens…

Electronic correlation assisted ferroelectric metallic state in LiOsO

I. Lo Vecchio, G. Giovannetti, M. Autore +6

LiOsO has been recently identified as the first unambiguous "ferroelectric metal", experimentally realizing a prediction from 1965 by Anderson and Blount. In this work, we inve…

An optically stimulated superconducting-like phase in K3C60 far above equilibrium Tc

M. Mitrano, A. Cantaluppi, D. Nicoletti +10

The control of non-equilibrium phenomena in complex solids is an important research frontier, encompassing new effects like light induced superconductivity. Here, we show that cohe…

Electrodynamics of superconducting pnictide superlattices

A. Perucchi, F. Capitani, P. Di Pietro +8

It has been recently reported (S. Lee et al., Nature Materials 12, 392, 2013) that superlattices where layers of the 8% Co-doped BaFe2As2 superconducting pnictide are intercalated…

Reproduction of Experimental Gap Structure in LiFeAs based on the Orbital-Spin Fluctuation Theory: -wave, -wave, and hole--wave states

Tetsuro Saito, Seiichiro Onari, Youichi Yamakawa +3

The absence of nesting between electron and hole-pockets in LiFeAs with K attracts great attention, as an important hint to understand the pairing mechanism of Fe-based s…

Infrared evidence of a Slater metal-insulator transition in NaOsO3

Irene Lo Vecchio, Andrea Perucchi, Paola Di Pietro +6

The magnetically driven metal-insulator transition (MIT) was predicted by Slater in the fifties. Here a long-range antiferromagnetic (AF) order can open up a gap at the Brillouin e…
