Probing the interplay between lattice dynamics and short-range magnetic correlations in CuGeO3 with femtosecond RIXS

Investigations of magnetically ordered phases on the femtosecond timescale have provided significant insights into the influence of charge and lattice degrees of freedom on the magnetic sub-system. However, short-range magnetic correlations occurring in the absence of long-range order, for example in spin-frustrated systems, are inaccessible to many ultrafast techniques. Here, we show how...

Unveiling the complete dispersion of the giant Rashba split surface states of ferroelectric α−GeTe(111) by alkali doping

Kremer, Geoffroy ; Jaouen, Thomas ; Salzmann, Björn ; Nicolaï, L. ; Rumo, Maxime ; Nicholson, Christopher W. ; Hildebrand, Baptiste ; Dil, J. Hugo ; Springholz, G. ; Krempasky, Juraj ; Monney, Claude

In: Physical Review Research, 2020, vol. 2, no. 3, p. 033115

α−GeTe(111) is a noncentrosymmetric ferroelectric material for which a strong spin- orbit interaction gives rise to giant Rashba split states in the bulk and at the surface. The detailed dispersions of the surface states inside the bulk band gap remains an open question because they are located in the unoccupied part of the electronic structure, making them inaccessible to static...

Ultrafast dynamics of the surface photovoltage in potassium-doped black phosphorus

Kremer, Geoffroy ; Rumo, Maxime ; Yue, Changming ; Pulkkinen, Aki ; Nicholson, Christopher W. ; Jaouen, Thomas ; Von Rohr, Fabian ; Werner, Philipp ; Monney, Claude

In: Physical Review B, 2021, vol. 104, no. 3, p. 035125

Black phosphorus is a quasi-two-dimensional layered semiconductor with a narrow direct band gap of 0.3 eV. A giant surface Stark effect can be produced by the potassium doping of black phosphorus, leading to a semiconductor to semimetal phase transition originating from the creation of a strong surface dipole and associated band bending. By using time- and angle-resolved photoemission ...

Muon spin rotation and infrared spectroscopy study of Ba$_{1-x}$Na$_{x}$Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$

Sheveleva, Evgeniia ; Xu, Bing ; Marsik, Premysl ; Lyzwa, Fryderyk ; Mallett, Benjamin P. P. ; Willa, K. ; Meingast, C. ; Wolf, Th. ; Shevtsova, T. ; Pashkevich, Yu. G. ; Bernhard, Christian

The magnetic and superconducting properties of a series of underdoped Ba 1 − x Na x Fe 2 As 2 (BNFA) single crystals with 0.19 ≤ x ≤ 0.34 have been investigated with the complementary muon-spin-rotation ( μ SR ) and infrared spectroscopy techniques. The focus has been on the different antiferromagnetic states in the underdoped regime and their competition with superconductivity,...

Nonthermal excitonic condensation near a spin-state transition

Werner, Philipp ; Murakami, Yuta

In: Physical Review B, 2020, vol. 102, no. 2020-24, p. 241103

Recent experiments demonstrate the induction of long-range order in correlated electron systems via external perturbations, which calls for a better understanding of nonthermal ordered states and nonequilibrium symmetry breaking. Here, we reveal a mechanism based on entropy cooling and entropy trapping in a strongly correlated multiorbital system. We consider a two-orbital Hubbard model with...

Optical signatures of multifold fermions in the chiral topological semimetal CoSi

Xu, Bing ; Fang, Zhenyao ; Sánchez-Martínez, Miguel-Angel ; Venderbos, Jorn W. F. ; Ni, Zhuoliang ; Qiu, Tian ; Manna, Kaustuv ; Wang, Kefeng ; Paglione, Johnpierre ; Bernhard, Christian ; Felser, Claudia ; Mele, Eugene J. ; Grushin, Adolfo G. ; Rappe, Andrew M. ; Wu, Liang

In: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020, vol. 117, no. 44, p. 27104–27110

We report the optical conductivity in high-quality crystals of the chiral topological semimetal CoSi, which hosts exotic quasiparticles known as multifold fermions. We find that the optical response is separated into several distinct regions as a function of frequency, each dominated by different types of quasiparticles. The low-frequency intraband response is captured by a narrow Drude peak...
