Title: Stroboscopic Tests for Thermalization of Electrons in Pump-Probe Experiments

Abstract

One of the goals of pump-probe spectroscopies is to determine how electrons relax after they have been driven out of equilibrium. It is challenging to determine how close electrons are to a thermal state solely by fitting their distribution to a Fermi-Dirac distribution. Here, instead, we propose that one compare the effective temperatures of both fermions and collective bosonic modes (derived from the fermions) to determine the distance from a thermal state. Measurements of effective fermionic and bosonic temperatures can be achieved directly via photoemission and nonresonant Raman scattering. Their difference quantifies the distance from thermal equilibrium.

Extracting the temperature of hot carriers in time- and angle-resolved photoemission

Journal Article Ulstrup, Søren ; Hofmann, Philip ; Johannsen, Jens Christian ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

The interaction of light with a material's electronic system creates an out-of-equilibrium (non-thermal) distribution of optically excited electrons. Non-equilibrium dynamics relaxes this distribution on an ultrafast timescale to a hot Fermi-Dirac distribution with a well-defined temperature. The advent of time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES) experiments has made it possible to track the decay of the temperature of the excited hot electrons in selected states in the Brillouin zone, and to reveal their cooling in unprecedented detail in a variety of emerging materials. It is, however, not a straightforward task to determine the temperature with high accuracy. This is mainlymore »« less

Nonresonant pump/probe electronic Raman scattering within nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory

Journal Article Freericks, James K. ; Matveev, Oleh P. ; Shvaika, Andrij M. ; ... - Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering

We develop the theory for nonresonant Raman scattering of strongly correlated electrons in time-resolved pump-probe experiments. The electrons are initially pumped with an intense pulse of light and then a probe pulse measures the Raman response function after an adjustable time delay. Here, we describe how the width of the probe pulse and the strength of the electron correlations affect the Raman cross section. The theory is developed for the case of B_1g symmetry, where incident and scattered light are polarized perpendicular to each other. We illustrate the exact solution with the Falicov-Kimball model, which is solved via nonequilibrium dynamicalmore » mean-field theory.« less

Having been a ground for various topological fermionic phases, the family of ZrSiS-type 111 materials has been under experimental and theoretical investigations. Within this family of materials, the subfamily LnSbTe (Ln = lanthanide elements) is gaining interest in recent times as the strong correlation effects and magnetism arising from the 4f electrons of the lanthanides can provide an important platform to study the link between topology, magnetism, and correlation. In this Letter, we report the systematic study of the electronic structure of SmSbTe—a member of the Ln SbTe subfamily—by utilizing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in conjunction with first-principles calculations, transport, andmore »« less

Observation of dimension-crossover of a tunable 1D Dirac fermion in topological semimetal NbSi_xTe₂

Journal Article Zhang, Jing ; Lv, Yangyang ; Feng, Xiaolong ; ... - npj Quantum Materials

Condensed matter systems in low dimensions exhibit emergent physics that does not exist in three dimensions. When electrons are confined to one dimension (1D), some significant electronic states appear, such as charge density wave, spin-charge separations, and Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) topological state. However, a clear understanding of how the 1D electronic properties connects with topology is currently lacking. Here we systematically investigated the characteristic 1D Dirac fermion electronic structure originated from the metallic NbTe₂ chains on the surface of the composition-tunable layered compound NbSi_xTe₂ (x = 0.40 and 0.43) using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We found the Dirac fermion forms a Dirac nodal line structure protected by the combinedmore »« less
