Ultrafast Switching to a Stable Hidden Quantum State in an Electronic Crystal

TL;DR: A hidden (H) electronic state is found in a layered dichalcogenide crystal of 1T-TaS2 (the trigonal phase of tantalum disulfide) reached as a result of a quench caused by a single 35-femtosecond laser pulse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coherent dynamics of macroscopic electronic order through a symmetry breaking transition

TL;DR: In this paper, state-of-the-art pump-probe measurements of the dynamics of charge-density waves in terbium telluride enable the evolution of the symmetry breaking charge-order transition of this system to be studied with unprecedented temporal resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast electronic resistance switching involving hidden charge density wave states.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used pulsed currents to induce fast switching between Mott insulator and metallic states in the charge density wave system 1T-TaS2, presenting an all-electronic storage mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Controlling the metal-to-insulator relaxation of the metastable hidden quantum state in 1T-TaS2

TL;DR: The metastable state relaxation rate may be externally stabilized by substrate strain, thus opening the way to the design of nonvolatile ultrafast high-temperature memory devices based on switching between CDW states with large intrinsic differences in electrical resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electron-Phonon Coupling in High-Temperature Cuprate Superconductors Determined from Electron Relaxation Rates

TL;DR: Electronic relaxation times via pump-probe optical spectroscopy using sub-15 fs pulses for the normal state of two different cuprate superconductors suggest a possible fundamental role of the electron-phonon interaction in the superconducting pairing mechanism.
