Multiple supersonic phase fronts launched at a complex-oxide hetero-interface
M. Först, K. R. Beyerlein, R. Mankowsky +16
Selective optical excitation of a substrate lattice can drive phase changes across hetero-interfaces. This phenomenon is a non-equilibrium analogue of static strain control in hete…
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…
Spatially resolved ultrafast magnetic dynamics launched at a complex-oxide hetero-interface
M. Först, A. D. Caviglia, R. Scherwitzl +18
Static strain in complex oxide heterostructures has been extensively used to engineer electronic and magnetic properties at equilibrium. In the same spirit, deformations of the cry…
Melting of Charge Stripes in Vibrationally Driven La1.875Ba0.125CuO4: Assessing the Respective Roles of Electronic and Lattice Order in Frustrated Superconductors
M. Först, R. I. Tobey, H. Bromberger +15
We report femtosecond resonant soft X-ray diffraction measurements of the dynamics of the charge order and of the crystal lattice in non-superconducting, stripe-ordered La1.875Ba0.…
Nonlinear lattice dynamics as a basis for enhanced superconductivity in YBa2Cu3O6.5
R. Mankowsky, A. Subedi, M. Först +13
THz-frequency optical pulses can resonantly drive selected vibrational modes in solids and deform their crystal structure. In complex oxides, this method has been used to melt elec…
Optically enhanced coherent transport in YBa2Cu3O6.5 by ultrafast redistribution of interlayer coupling
W. Hu, S. Kaiser, D. Nicoletti +7
Nonlinear optical excitation of infrared active lattice vibrations has been shown to melt magnetic or orbital orders and to transform insulators into metals. In cuprates, this tech…
Bi-directional ultrafast electric-field gating of interlayer transport in a cuprate superconductor
A. Dienst, M. C. Hoffmann, D. Fausti +5
In cuprate superconductors, tunneling between planes makes possible three-dimensional coherent transport. However, the interlayer tunnelling amplitude is reduced when an order-para…
