Emergent light-induced states in a 1D cuprate

Oral-In-person  · Withdrawn

Abstract

Ultrafast excitation provides a route to generate and probe novel states not accessible in equilibrium. In the 1D cuprate Sr2CuO3, time-resolved XAS reveals that ultrafast excitation induces a non-equilibrium hole distribution, reminiscent of the Zhang-Rice Singlet states observed in hole-doped 2D cuprates. RIXS at the Cu L-edge reveals a corresponding transient reduction in the 2-spinon spectral weight, consistent with the creation of holon-doublons. O K-edge RIXS reveals an emergent charge excitation, present only in the light-induced state and absent in equilibrium. These charge excitations are particularly unique, as conducting 1D systems have been difficult to realize in equilibrium. Thus ultrafast excitation in Sr2CuO3 provides a promising route for probing non-equilibrium fractionalized charge excitations and exotic physics.
