摘要:

利用飞秒激光脉冲在反铁磁范德华半导体FePS $_3$中触发相干太赫兹光晶格模。将380 nm厚的剥离薄片放置在衬底上,并研究了激光驱动的晶格和自旋动力学作为激发光子能量和样品温度的函数。泵浦-探测光谱测量表明,光致声子是由位移机制产生的。声子信号的幅度随着样品被加热到Néel温度而减小,并且随着发生到顺磁相的相变而消失。这一证据证实了激发晶格模式与长程磁序密切相关。因此,我们的工作揭示了一个路径走向飞秒相干操纵的磁晶各向异性的范德瓦尔斯反铁磁体。事实上,据报道,通过施加磁场的诱导声子模式通过基特尔机制与区域中心磁振子杂交。

英文摘要:

A coherent THz optical lattice mode is triggered by femtosecond laser pulses in the antiferromagnetic van der Waals semiconductor FePS$_3$. The 380 nm thick exfoliated flake was placed on a substrate and laser-driven lattice and spin dynamics were investigated as a function of the excitation photon energy and sample temperature. The pump-probe spectroscopic measurements reveal that the photo-induced phonon is generated by a displacive mechanism. The amplitude of the phononic signal decreases as the sample is heated up to the Néel temperature and vanishes as the phase transition to the paramagnetic phase occurs. This evidence confirms that the excited lattice mode is intimately connected to the long-range magnetic order. Therefore our work discloses a pathway towards a femtosecond coherent manipulation of the magneto-crystalline anisotropy in a van der Waals antiferromagnet. In fact, it is reported that by applying a magnetic field the induced phonon mode hybridizes via the Kittel-mechanism with zone-centre magnons.
