非热轨道序的涨落控制

Fluctuation control of non-thermal orbital order

Francesco Grandi, Martin Eckstein

摘要:

轨道有序态具有独特的特征,使其成为探索固体中长程序的超快动力学的有前途的平台:它们的自由能通常具有多个离散的最小值,并且电激光场或选择性激发的声子可以施加有效的力,可以用于通过这些自由能景观来操纵序参量。此外,它们的自由能强烈地依赖于涨落,在某些情况下,接近最小值的回复力完全是熵的起源(无序有序机制)。这可以打开路径,以通过非热波动来控制序参量的动力学。本文利用含时Ginzburg-Landau理论研究了$120^\circ$罗盘模型中激光诱导的非平衡动力学。我们分析协议,以切换等效配置之间的序参量,重点是由于驱动场的外力之间的相互作用,和非热熵力。特别是,我们发现,一些激发后的reversible非热波动可以稳定的高对称性相,即使当均匀的潜力已经恢复其低温形式,这有利于激光诱导开关。

英文摘要:

Orbitally ordered states exhibit unique features which make them a promising platform for exploring the ultrafast dynamics of long-range order in solids: Their free energy typically has multiple discrete minima, and electric laser fields or selectively excited phonons can exert effective forces that may be used to steer the order parameter through these free energy landscapes. Moreover, their free energy strongly depends on fluctuations, and in some cases restoring forces close to a minimum are exclusively of entropic origin (order-by-disorder mechanisms). This can open pathways to control the dynamics of the order parameter via non-thermal fluctuations. In this work, we study the laser-induced non-equilibrium dynamics in a $120^\circ$ compass model, using time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory. We analyze protocols to switch the order parameter between equivalent configurations, with a focus on the interplay between the external force due to the driving field, and the non-thermal entropic forces. In particular, we find that remanent non-thermal fluctuations after some excitation can stabilize the high-symmetry phase even when the homogeneous potential has retrieved its low-temperature form, which facilitates laser-induced switching.
