Title: Optically induced lattice deformations, electronic structure changes, and enhanced superconductivity in YBa₂Cu₃O_6.48

Abstract

Resonant optical excitation of apical oxygen vibrational modes in the normal state of underdoped YBa₂Cu₃O_6+x induces a transient state with optical properties similar to those of the equilibrium superconducting state. Amongst these, a divergent imaginary conductivity and a plasma edge are transiently observed in the photo-stimulated state. Femtosecond hard x-ray diffraction experiments have been used in the past to identify the transient crystal structure in this non-equilibrium state. Here, we start from these crystallographic features and theoretically predict the corresponding electronic rearrangements that accompany these structural deformations. Using density functional theory, we predict enhanced hole-doping of the CuO₂ planes. The empty chain Cu dy²-z² orbital is calculated to strongly reduce in energy, which would increase c-axis transport and potentially enhance the interlayer Josephson coupling as observed in the THz-frequency response. From these results, we calculate changes in the soft x-ray absorption spectra at the Cu L-edge. As a result, femtosecond x-ray pulses from a free electron laser are used to probe changes in absorption at two photon energies along this spectrum and provide data consistent with these predictions.

Orbital Hybridization and Magnetic Coupling at Cuprate–Manganite Interfaces Driven by Manganite Doping

Journal Article Schlueter, Christoph ; Yang, Nan ; Mazzoli, Claudio ; ... - Advanced Quantum Technologies

Fundamental understanding of interface mechanisms that generate unexpected physical properties in the cuprate/manganite heterostructures is essential for possible applications as spintronic devices. In this study, CaCuO₂/La_1–xSr_xMnO₃ (CCO/LSMO) superlattices are investigated, where the infinite-layer cuprate CCO does not have apical oxygen for Cu in the Ca-plane so that the Mn–O–Cu superexchange coupling can be only present at the MnO₂–(La,Sr)O–CuO₂ interface. Two different doping states for the manganites are studied, namely x = 0.1 and x = 0.3, corresponding to the ferromagnetic insulating and ferromagnetic metallic states, respectively, in the manganite phase diagram.

Carrier-specific dynamics in 2H-MoTe₂ observed by femtosecond soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy using an x-ray free-electron laser

Journal Article Britz, Alexander ; Attar, Andrew R. ; Zhang, Xiang ; ... - Structural Dynamics

Femtosecond carrier dynamics in layered 2H-MoTe₂ semiconductor crystals have been investigated using soft x-ray transient absorption spectroscopy at the x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) of the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory. Following above-bandgap optical excitation of 2H-MoTe₂, the photoexcited hole distribution is directly probed via short-lived transitions from the Te 3d _5/2 core level (M₅-edge, 572-577 eV) to transiently unoccupied states in the valence band. The optically excited electrons are separately probed via the reduced absorption probability at the Te M₅-edge involving partially occupied states of the conduction band. A 400 ± 110 fs delay is observed between this transient electron signal nearmore »« less

MLCT state structure and dynamics of a copper(I) diimine complex characterized by pump-probe x-ray and laser spectroscopies and DFT calculations.

Journal Article Chen, L X ; Shaw, G B ; Novozhilova, I ; ... - J. Am. Chem. Soc.

The molecular structure and dynamics of the photoexcited metal-to-ligand-charge-transfer (MLCT) state of [Cu{sup I}(dmp){sub 2}]{sup +}, where dmp is 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline, in acetonitrile have been investigated by time-domain pump-probe X-ray absorption spectroscopy, femtosecond optical transient spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT). The time resolution for the excited state structural determination was 100 ps, provided by single X-ray pulses from a third generation synchrotron source. The copper ion in the thermally equilibrated MLCT state has the same oxidation state as the corresponding copper(II) complex in the ground state and was found to be penta-coordinate with an average nearest neighbor Cu-N distance 0.04more »« less

Time-resolved THz studies of carrier dynamics in semiconductors, superconductors, and strongly-correlated electron materials

Book Kaindl, Robert A ; Averitt, Richard D

Perhaps the most important aspect of contemporary condensed matter physics involves understanding strong Coulomb interactions between the large number of electrons in a solid. Electronic correlations lead to the emergence of new system properties, such as metal-insulator transitions, superconductivity, magneto-resistance, Bose-Einstein condensation, the formation of excitonic gases, or the integer and fractional Quantum Hall effects. The discovery of high-Tc superconductivity in particular was a watershed event, leading to dramatic experimental and theoretical advances in the field of correlated-electron systems. Such materials often exhibit competition between the charge, lattice, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom, whose cause-effect relationships are difficult tomore »« less

Ultrafast free-carrier dynamics in Cu{sub 2}ZnSnS{sub 4} single crystals studied using femtosecond time-resolved optical spectroscopy

Journal Article Phuong, L. Q. ; Kanemitsu, Y., E-mail: kanemitu@scl.kyoto-u.ac.jp ; Japan Science and Technology Agency, CREST, Uji, Kyoto 611-0011 ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We studied the dynamics of photogenerated carriers in Cu{sub 2}ZnSnS{sub 4} (CZTS) single crystals using femtosecond transient reflectivity (TR) and optical pump-THz probe transient absorption (THz-TA) spectroscopy. The TR and THz-TA decay dynamics consistently showed that free carriers have long lifetimes of up to a few nanoseconds. The excitation-photon-energy-dependent TR measurements revealed a slow picosecond energy relaxation of free carriers to the band edge in CZTS. The relaxation and recombination dynamics of free carriers were affected by nonradiative recombinations at the surface. Our results revealed a global feature of energy relaxation and recombination processes of free carriers in CZTS singlemore » crystals.« less
