Optically induced lattice deformations, electronic structure changes, and enhanced superconductivity in YBa2Cu3O6.48
R. Mankowsky, M. Fechner, M. Först +10
Resonant optical excitation of apical oxygen vibrational modes in the normal state of underdoped YBa2Cu3O6+x induces a transient state with optical properties similar to those of t…
Restoring Interlayer Josephson Coupling in La_{1.885}Ba_{0.115}CuO_4 by Charge Transfer Melting of Stripe Order
V. Khanna, R. Mankowsky, M. Petrich +10
We show that disruption of charge-density-wave (stripe) order by charge transfer excitation, enhances the superconducting phase rigidity in La_{1.885}Ba_{0.115}CuO_4 (LBCO). Time-R…
Femtosecond x rays link melting of charge-density wave correlations and light-enhanced coherent transport in YBa2Cu3O6.6
M. Först A. Frano, S. Kaiser, R. Mankowsky +11
We use femtosecond resonant soft x-ray diffraction to measure the optically stimulated ultrafast changes of charge density wave correlations in underdoped YBa2Cu3O6.6. We find that…
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…
