Electron-phonon-driven three-dimensional metallicity in an insulating cuprate

Fabrizio Carbone, Edoardo Baldini, Cédric Weber

The role of the crystal lattice for the electronic properties of cuprates and other high-temperature superconductors remains controversial despite decades of theoretical and experimental efforts. While the paradigm of strong electronic correlations suggest ...

Mahan excitons in room-temperature methylammonium lead bromide perovskites

Majed Chergui, László Forró, Endre Horvath, Ana Akrap, Edoardo Baldini, Márton Kollár, Tania Palmieri

In a seminal paper, Mahan predicted that excitonic bound states can still exist in a semiconductor at electron-hole densities above the insulator-to-metal Mott transition. However, no clear evidence for this exotic quasiparticle, dubbed Mahan exciton, exis ...

Giant Exciton Mott Density in Anatase TiO2

Majed Chergui, Edoardo Baldini, Tania Palmieri

Elucidating the carrier density at which strongly bound excitons dissociate into a plasma of uncorrelated electron-hole pairs is a central topic in the many-body physics of semiconductors. However, there is a lack of information on the high-density respons ...

Electron Dynamics in Anatase TiO2 Nanoparticles by Ultrafast Broadband Deep-Ultraviolet Spectroscopy

Majed Chergui, Edoardo Baldini, Enrico Pomarico, Tania Palmieri, Gerald Auböck

The optical bandgap of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles is dominated by bulk absorption bands in the deep-ultraviolet due to strongly bound excitons. These spectral features can be utilized as a sensitive probe of carrier and lattice dynamics inside the TiO2 nan ...

Exciton control in a room temperature bulk semiconductor with coherent strain pulses

Majed Chergui, Edoardo Baldini, Tania Palmieri, Oliviero Cannelli

Controlling the excitonic optical properties of room temperature semiconductors using time-dependent perturbations is key to future optoelectronic applications. The optical Stark effect in bulk and low-dimensional materials has recently shown exciton shift ...

Lattice-mediated magnetic order melting in TbMnO3

Fabrizio Carbone, Edoardo Baldini

Recent ultrafast magnetic-sensitive measurements [Johnson et al., Phys. Rev. B 92, 184429 (2015); Bothschafter et al., Phys. Rev. B 96, 184414 (2017)] have revealed a delayed melting of the long-range cycloid spin order in TbMnO 3 following photoexcitation ...

Phonon-Driven Selective Modulation of Exciton Oscillator Strengths in Anatase TiO2Nanoparticles

Majed Chergui, Edoardo Baldini, Tania Palmieri, Enrico Pomarico, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Malte Oppermann, Gerald Auböck

The way nuclear motion affects electronic responses has become a very hot topic in materials science. Coherent acoustic phonons can dynamically modify optical, magnetic, and mechanical properties at ultrasonic frequencies, with promising applications as se ...

Coherent generation of symmetry-forbidden phonons by light-induced electron-phonon interactions in magnetite

Oleg Yazyev, Fabrizio Carbone, Frank van Mourik, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Edoardo Baldini, Andreas Helmut Christian Mann, Simone Borroni

Symmetry breaking across phase transitions often causes changes in selection rules and emergence of optical modes which can be detected via spectroscopic techniques or generated coherently in pump-probe experiments. In second-order or weakly first-order tr ...
