摘要:

光脉冲激发使得能够操纵量子凝聚态的相位。在这里,我们光激发高能量的holon-doublon对作为一种方式来改变Kitaev-海森堡磁体$α$ -RuCl $_3$的磁自由能景观,目的是动态地稳定接近自旋液相。通过多磁振子发射的holon-doublon对复合跟踪的磁性线性二向色性的时间演化起源于竞争锯齿形自旋有序基态。一个小的holon-doublon密度足以达到自旋无序状态。的相变内描述的动态Ginzburg-Landau框架,证实了准稳态性质的瞬态自旋无序相。我们的工作提供了深入了解$α$ -RuCl $_3$中的电子和磁自由度之间的耦合,并提出了一种新的途径,以达到接近自旋液相Kitaev-海森堡磁体。

英文摘要:

Excitation by light pulses enables the manipulation of phases of quantum condensed matter. Here, we photoexcite high-energy holon-doublon pairs as a way to alter the magnetic free energy landscape of the Kitaev-Heisenberg magnet $α$-RuCl$_3$, with the aim to dynamically stabilize a proximate spin liquid phase. The holon-doublon pair recombination through multimagnon emission is tracked through the time-evolution of the magnetic linear dichroism originating from the competing zigzag spin ordered ground state. A small holon-doublon density suffices to reach a spin disordered state. The phase transition is described within a dynamic Ginzburg-Landau framework, corroborating the quasistationary nature of the transient spin disordered phase. Our work provides insight into the coupling between the electronic and magnetic degrees of freedom in $α$-RuCl$_3$ and suggests a new route to reach a proximate spin liquid phase in Kitaev-Heisenberg magnets.
