Journal ArticleDOI
Femtosecond Structural Dynamics in VO2 during an Ultrafast Solid-Solid Phase Transition.
Andrea Cavalleri,Cs. Toth,Craig W. Siders,Jeff Squier,F. Raksi,Patrick Forget,Jean-Claude Kieffer +6 more
TL;DR: Femtosecond x-ray and visible pulses were used to probe structural and electronic dynamics during an optically driven, solid-solid phase transition in VO, suggesting that, in this regime, the structural transition may not be thermally initiated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-Induced Superconductivity in a Stripe-Ordered Cuprate
Daniele Fausti,Daniele Fausti,Ra'anan Tobey,Nicky Dean,Nicky Dean,Stefan Kaiser,A. Dienst,Matthias C. Hoffmann,Sunseng Pyon,Tomomi Takayama,Hidenori Takagi,Andrea Cavalleri,Andrea Cavalleri +12 more
TL;DR: Mid-infrared femtosecond pulses are used to enable coherent transport between the copper oxide planes of a cuprate superconductor, and an upper limit for the time scale needed to form the superconducting phase is estimated to be 1 to 2 picoseconds, which places stringent new constraints on the understanding of stripe order and its relation to superconductivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a structurally-driven insulator-to-metal transition in VO 2 : A view from the ultrafast timescale
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply ultrafast spectroscopy to establish a time-domain hierarchy between structural and electronic effects in a strongly correlated electron system, and they discuss the case of the model system, a prototypical nonmagnetic compound that exhibits cell doubling, charge localization, and a metal-insulator transition below 340 K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Femtosecond X-ray measurement of coherent lattice vibrations near the Lindemann stability limit
Klaus Sokolowski-Tinten,C. Blome,Juris Blums,Andrea Cavalleri,C. Dietrich,Alexander Tarasevitch,Ingo Uschmann,E. Förster,Martin Kammler,M. Horn-von-Hoegen,Dietrich von der Linde +10 more
TL;DR: Time-resolved X-ray diffraction measurements of the coherent atomic displacement of the lattice atoms in photoexcited bismuth close to a phase transition are reported, which leads to a subsequent loss of long-range order.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of the electronic phase of a manganite by mode-selective vibrational excitation
M. Rini,Ra'anan Tobey,Nicky Dean,Jiro Itatani,Yasuhide Tomioka,Yoshinori Tokura,Yoshinori Tokura,Robert W. Schoenlein,Andrea Cavalleri,Andrea Cavalleri +9 more
TL;DR: This work reports the ultrafast switching of the electronic phase of a magnetoresistive manganite via direct excitation of a phonon mode at 71 meV (17 THz), and reports the vibrationally driven bandgap collapse observed here, which is uniquely attributed to a large-amplitude Mn–O distortion.
