摘要:

库仑排斥和运动学效应之间的非平凡平衡决定了相关电子材料的电子结构。使用足够强的电磁场来对抗这些原生的微观相互作用,使我们能够研究电子响应以及使用量子效应的可能应用所涉及的时间尺度和能量。我们使用特定元素的瞬态X射线吸收光谱和高次谐波产生测量响应超短非共振光场的原型相关电子绝缘体NiO。令人惊讶的是,高达0.22 V/V的磁场导致相关Ni 3d轨道上没有可检测到的变化,这与以前的预测相反。一个瞬态的定向电荷转移被发现,第一原理理论捕获的行为。我们的研究结果突出了延迟效应在电子屏蔽中的重要性,并指出了超快器件操作功能化相关材料的关键挑战。

英文摘要:

A non-trivial balance between Coulomb repulsion and kinematic effects determines the electronic structure of correlated electron materials. The use electromagnetic fields strong enough to rival these native microscopic interactions allows us to study the electronic response as well as the timescales and energies involved in using quantum effects for possible applications. We use element-specific transient x-ray absorption spectroscopy and high-harmonic generation to measure the response to ultrashort off-resonant optical fields in the prototypical correlated electron insulator NiO. Surprisingly, fields of up to 0.22 V/Å leads to no detectable changes on the correlated Ni 3d-orbitals contrary to previous predictions. A transient directional charge transfer is uncovered, a behavior that is captured by first-principles theory. Our results highlight the importance of retardation effects in electronic screening, and pinpoints a key challenge in functionalizing correlated materials for ultrafast device operation.
