摘要:

集体模之间的非线性相互作用在远离平衡态的强关联电子系统中起着决定性的作用。理解和利用这些相互作用对于量子多体态的光控至关重要。强模式耦合的最令人惊讶的例子之一是双层YBa $_2$ Cu $_3$ O $_{6+x}$超导体中顶端氧声子和约瑟夫森等离子体之间的相互作用。Hu et al(2014)的实验。和Kaiser等人(2014)表明,低于Tc时,声子的光激发导致约瑟夫森等离子体边缘的增强和频率偏移,而高于Tc时,即使在平衡反射率光谱中没有可辨别的特征时,光激发声子也会诱导等离子体边缘。Van Hoegen等人(2019)最近的实验也观察到了约瑟夫森等离子体激元从低于Tc和赝能隙相的光激发声子中的参数产生。本文提出了一个由氧运动与面内超流刚度耦合引起的声子-等离激元三波相互作用的理论模型。基于该模型的等离子体激元的参数不稳定性的分析给出了最不稳定的等离子体激元的频率,与实验观察一致。我们还讨论了如何强的约瑟夫森等离子体激元的参数激发可以解释泵浦引起的变化的太赫兹反射率的YBa $_2$ Cu $_3$ O $_{6+x}$在超导状态,包括频率的变化和约瑟夫森等离子体激元的边缘锐化,以及外观的一个新的峰值约2 THz。这个模型的一个有趣的特点是,过阻尼约瑟夫森等离子体激元不给任何可辨别的功能,在平衡的反射率,但可以开发等离子体激元的边缘时,参数激发。我们认为,这一机制解释了光诱导等离子体边缘的赝隙相的YBa $_2$铜$_3$ O $_{6+x}$。

英文摘要:

Non-linear interactions between collective modes play a definitive role in far out of equilibrium dynamics of strongly correlated electron systems. Understanding and utilizing these interactions is crucial to photo-control of quantum many-body states. One of the most surprising examples of strong mode coupling is the interaction between apical oxygen phonons and Josephson plasmons in bilayer YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ superconductors. Experiments by Hu et al (2014). and Kaiser et al. (2014) showed that below Tc, photo-excitation of phonons leads to enhancement and frequency shifts of Josephson plasmon edges, while aboveTc, photo-excited phonons induce plasmon edges even when there are no discernible features in the equilibrium reflectivity spectrum. Recent experiments by Van Hoegen et al. (2019) also observed parametric generation of Josephson plasmons from photo-excited phonons both below Tc and in the pseudogap phase. In this paper we present a theoretical model of phonon-plasmon three wave interaction arising from coupling between the oxygen motion and the in-plane superfluid stiffness. Analysis of the parametric instability of plasmons based on this model gives frequencies of the most unstable plasmons that are in agreement with experimental observations. We also discuss how strong parametric excitation of Josephson plasmons can explain pump induced changes in the TeraHertz reflectivity of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$ in the superconducting state, including frequency shifts and sharpening of Josephson plasmon edges, as well as appearance of a new peak around 2THz. An interesting feature of this model is that overdamped Josephson plasmons do not give any discernible features in reflectivity in equilibrium, but can develop plasmon edges when parametrically excited. We suggest that this mechanism explains photo-induced plasmon edges in the pseudogap phase of YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+x}$.
