Dynamics of photoinduced charge-density-wave to metal phase transition in K0.3MoO3.

چکیده
We present the first systematic studies of the photoinduced phase transition from the ground charge density wave (CDW) state to the normal metallic state in the prototype quasi-1D CDW system K0.3MoO3. Ultrafast nonthermal CDW melting is achieved at the absorbed energy density that corresponds to the electronic energy difference between the metallic and CDW states. The results imply that on the subpicosecond time scale when melting and subsequent initial recovery of the electronic order takes place the lattice remains unperturbed.

Doping Effects on the Charge-Density-Wave Dynamics in Blue Bronze
The temperature dependences of the dc resistivity and the nonlinear transport properties in pure, Rb-doped, and W-doped blue bronze K0.3MoO3 single crystals are presented. In comparison with the Rb doping, the W doping has larger effects on the electrical transport properties and the Peierls transition. In particular, the maximum in the temperature dependence of the threshold field for nonlinea...
متن کاملPhotoinduced Absorption from Localized Intra-gap States
A model is developed for photoinduced absorption from localized states observed in femtosecond pump-probe experiments in high-Tc superconductors and other materials. The dynamics of localized carriers are described in terms of phenomenological approach similar to that originaly proposed by Rothwarf and Taylor. Expanding the relaxation rate in powers of the order parameter we have shown that den...
متن کاملTheory of Photoinduced Phase Transitions in Molecular Conductors: Interplay Between Correlated Electrons, Lattice Phonons and Molecular Vibrations
Dynamics of photoinduced phase transitions in molecular conductors are reviewed from the perspective of interplay between correlated electrons and phonons. (1) The charge-transfer complex TTF-CA shows a transition from a neutral paraelectric phase to an ionic ferroelectric phase. Lattice phonons promote this photoinduced transition by preparing short-range lattice dimerization as a precursor. M...

This thesis presents measurements of collective modes and ultrafast carrier relaxation dynamics in charge-density-wave (CDW) conductors and colossal magneto-resistance (CMR) manganites by means of femtosecond time-resolved optical spectroscopy. In these experiments, a femtosecond laser pump pulse excited a broad frequency spectrum of low-energy collective modes and electron-hole pairs via inter...
