AI总结:

本研究通过测量轨道截断杆和Bragg峰分离表面与体相动力学,发现层状锰化物La0.5Sr1.5MnO4在光激发下发生轨道序的表面熔化,揭示了长程有序丧失的非相干本质及局部极化子的形成。

摘要:

理解光如何改变量子材料中的长程有序是提升我们控制其功能的能力的关键。然而,如果响应是异质的,这就具有挑战性。在这里,我们研究了最常见的光致异质性形式,即表面熔化,并测量了层状锰化物La0.5Sr1.5MnO4中轨道序的动力学。我们通过测量轨道截断杆以及轨道Bragg峰,将表面动力学与体相分离开来。光激发后,轨道Bragg峰表现出不寻常的窄化,这表明探测体积内的关联长度增加。相反,表面的关联长度减小。如果材料是异质的,并且光熔化了有序度较低的表面,这些差异就可以调和。通过分离表面响应,我们确定长程有序的丧失是一个非相干过程,这可能伴随着局部极化子的形成。

英文摘要:

Understanding how light modifies long-range order in quantum materials is key to improving our ability to control functionality. However, this is challenging if the response is heterogeneous. Here we address the most common form of light-induced heterogeneity, surface melting, and measure the dynamics of orbital order in the layered manganite, La0.5Sr1.5MnO4. We isolate the surface dynamics from the bulk by measuring the orbital truncation rod as well as orbital Bragg peak. After photoexcitation, the orbital Bragg peak shows an unusual narrowing, which suggests an increase in the correlation length in the probed volume. In contrast, the correlation length at the surface decreases. These differences can be reconciled if the material is heterogeneous, and light melts a less ordered surface. By isolating the surface response, we determine that the loss of long-range order is an incoherent process, which is likely accompanied by the formation of local polarons.
