摘要:

我们目前的平衡和平衡外的磁铁矿的Verwey转变的研究。在平衡的光学电导率,我们发现在相变的光子能量低于约2 eV的一个阶梯状的变化。最近的X射线研究表明,光激发在绝缘磁铁矿中触发非平衡瞬态金属态的可能性。在这里,我们报告的非平衡相变在可见光频率范围内的光学性质的一个完整的表征。我们的光谱特征的分析是基于平衡性质的详细描述。的平衡光学数据承担与本地化的光激发,相分离的发生,和过渡到瞬态金属相的激发密度大于临界值的初始电子响应。这使我们能够识别的瞬态的电子性质,揭示的相变动力学,并研究的反射率上的相分离的后果,提出了一种光谱特征,通常可以链接到平衡相分离。

英文摘要:

We present equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium studies of the Verwey transition in magnetite. In the equilibrium optical conductivity, we find a step-like change at the phase transition for photon energies below about 2 eV. The possibility of triggering a non-equilibrium transient metallic state in insulating magnetite by photo excitation was recently demonstrated by an x-ray study. Here we report a full characterization of the optical properties in the visible frequency range across the non-equilibrium phase transition. Our analysis of the spectral features is based on a detailed description of the equilibrium properties. The out-of-equilibrium optical data bear the initial electronic response associated to localized photo-excitation, the occurrence of phase separation, and the transition to a transient metallic phase for excitation density larger than a critical value. This allows us to identify the electronic nature of the transient state, to unveil the phase transition dynamics, and to study the consequences of phase separation on the reflectivity, suggesting a spectroscopic feature that may be generally linked to out-of-equilibrium phase separation.
