Dynamics of Nanoscale Phase Decomposition in Laser Ablation
Yanwen Sun, Chaobo Chen, Thies J. Albert +19
Femtosecond laser ablation is a process that bears both fundamental physics interest and has wide industrial applications. For decades, the lack of probes on the relevant time and…
Critical slowing of the spin and charge density wave order in thin film Cr following photoexcitation
Sheena K. K. Patel, Oleg Yu. Gorobtsov, Devin Cela +11
We report on the evolution of the charge density wave (CDW) and spin density wave (SDW) order of a chromium film following photoexcitation with an ultrafast optical laser pulse. Th…
Non-equilibrium pathways to emergent polar supertextures
Vladimir A. Stoica, Tiannan Yang, Sujit Das +31
Ultrafast stimuli can stabilize metastable states of matter inaccessible by equilibrium means. Establishing the spatiotemporal link between ultrafast excitation and metastability i…
Photo-induced plasmon-phonon coupling in PbTe
M. P. Jiang, M. Trigo, S. Fahy +19
We report the observation of photo-induced plasmon-phonon coupled modes in the group IV-VI semiconductor PbTe using Fourier-transform inelastic X-ray scattering at the Linac Cohere…
Anisotropic structural dynamics of monolayer crystals revealed by femtosecond surface x-ray scattering
I-Cheng Tung, Aravind Krishnamoorthy, Sridhar Sadasivam +22
X-ray scattering is one of the primary tools to determine crystallographic configuration with atomic accuracy. However, the measurement of ultrafast structural dynamics in monolaye…
Coherent order parameter dynamics in SmTe
M. Trigo, P. Giraldo-Gallo, M. E. Kozina +13
We present a combined ultrafast optical pump-probe and ultrafast x-ray diffraction measurement of the CDW dynamics in SmTe at 300 K. The ultrafast x-ray diffraction measurement…
Terahertz-Driven Phonon Upconversion in SrTiO3
Michael Kozina, Michael Fechner, Premysl Marsik +8
Direct manipulation of the atomic lattice using intense long-wavelength laser pulses has become a viable approach to create new states of matter in complex materials. Conventionall…
Ultrafast x-ray diffraction probe of terahertz field-driven soft mode dynamics
M. Kozina, T. van Driel, M. Chollet +6
We use ultrafast x-ray pulses to characterize the lattice response of SrTiO3 when driven by strong terahertz (THz) fields. We observe transient changes in the diffraction intensity…
Photoinduced suppression of the ferroelectric instability in PbTe
M. P. Jiang, M. Trigo, S. Fahy +18
The interactions between electrons and phonons drive a large array of technologically relevant material properties including ferroelectricity, thermoelectricity, and phase-change b…
How to distinguish squeezed and coherent phonons in femtosecond x-ray diffuse scattering
T. Henighan, M. Trigo, M. Chollet +9
Impulsive optical excitation can generate both coherent and squeezed phonons. The expectation value of the phonon displacement oscillates at the mode frequency for the cohe…
Phonon Spectroscopy with Sub-meV Resolution by Femtosecond X-ray Diffuse Scattering
Diling Zhu, Aymeric Robert, Tom Henighan +5
We present a reconstruction of the transverse acoustic phonon dispersion of germanium from femtosecond time-resolved x-ray diffuse scattering measurements at the Linac Coherent Lig…
