摘要:

远红外和中红外光脉冲在复杂材料中诱导非平衡非常规有序,包括量子顺电体中的光致铁电性,反铁磁体中的磁极化以及铜氧化物和有机导体正常态中的瞬态超导关联。在非平衡超导的情况下,飞秒驱动通常会导致激发后立即消失的电子特性,证明缺乏内在刚性的状态。在这里,我们利用一种新的光学设备来驱动金属K $_3$ C $_{60}$与中红外脉冲的可调持续时间,范围在1皮秒和1纳秒之间。在飞秒激发的短时间窗口内观察到的类似超导的光学性质在这里被证明在持续的光学驱动下变得亚稳态,寿命超过10纳秒。在这些时间尺度上,直接的电探测成为可能,产生一个非常小的电阻。这种巨大的正光电导对于金属来说是非常不寻常的,当与瞬态光电导一起考虑时,它相当暗示亚稳态光致超导性。

英文摘要:

Far and mid infrared optical pulses have been shown to induce non-equilibrium unconventional orders in complex materials, including photo-induced ferroelectricity in quantum paraelectrics, magnetic polarization in antiferromagnets and transient superconducting correlations in the normal state of cuprates and organic conductors. In the case of non-equilibrium superconductivity, femtosecond drives have generally resulted in electronic properties that disappear immediately after excitation, evidencing a state that lacks intrinsic rigidity. Here, we make use of a new optical device to drive metallic K$_3$C$_{60}$ with mid-infrared pulses of tunable duration, ranging between one picosecond and one nanosecond. The same superconducting-like optical properties observed over short time windows for femtosecond excitation are shown here to become metastable under sustained optical driving, with lifetimes in excess of ten nanoseconds. Direct electrical probing becomes possible at these timescales, yielding a vanishingly small resistance. Such a colossal positive photo-conductivity is highly unusual for a metal and, when taken together with the transient optical conductivities, it is rather suggestive of metastable light-induced superconductivity.
