Tunneling Breakdown of a Strongly Correlated Insulating State in VO${}_2$ Induced by Intense Multi-Terahertz Excitation

B. Mayer, C. Schmidt, A. Grupp +8

We directly trace the near- and mid-infrared transmission change of a VO${}_2$ thin film during an ultrafast insulator-to-metal transition triggered by high-field multi-terahertz tra…
