英文摘要:
We investigate an exact nonequilibrium solution of a two-site electron-phonon model, where an infrared-active phonon that is nonlinearly coupled to the electrons is driven by a laser field. The time-resolved electronic spectrum shows coherence-incoherence spectral weight transfer, a clear signature of light-enhanced electron-phonon coupling. The present study is motivated by recent evidence for enhanced electron-phonon coupling in pump-probe TeraHertz and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in bilayer graphene when driven near resonance with an infrared-active phonon mode [E.~Pomarico et al., Phys.~Rev.~B 95, 024304 (2017)], and by a theoretical study suggesting that transient electronic attraction arises from nonlinear electron-phonon coupling [D.~M.~Kennes et al., Nature Physics (2017), 10.1038/nphys4024]. We show that a linear scaling of light-enhanced electron-phonon coupling with the pump field intensity emerges, in accordance with a time-nonlocal self-energy based on a mean-field decoupling using quasi-classical phonon coherent states. Finally we demonstrate that this leads to enhanced double occupancies in accordance with an effective electron-electron attraction. Our results suggest that materials with strong phonon nonlinearities provide an ideal playground to achieve light-enhanced electron-phonon coupling and possibly light-induced superconductivity.
Superconductivity enhanced by abundant low-energy phonons in (Sr$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$)$_3$Rh$_4$Sn$_{13}$
通过电阻率和比热测量研究了结构量子临界性对(Sr $_{1-x}$ Ca $_x$)$_3$ Rh $_4$ Sn $_{13}$强耦合超导电性的影响。我们表明,在低温下的晶格比热相当大地增加对结构量子临界点(SQCP),$x_{\rm c}\approx0.9$。超导能隙随着$x$的增加而增加,与低温晶格比热的增加方式完全相同,这清楚地表明大量的低能声子导致了强耦合超导性。尽管电子-声子相互作用比电子相关性增强得多,但SQCP附近的低温电阻率变化为$\propto T^2$。这一发现表明,结构量子涨落影响的幂律所产生的电子-声子散射。
